The taboo subject of death will be discussed at a new gathering in Weymouth called the Mourning Café.

It launches tomorrow evening at Library Harbour Café on Trinity Road, Weymouth, and is free to attend.

Dawn Cheeseman from Co-op Funeralcare leads the monthly open sessions which will have different topics covering a range of subjects around death and dying.

Dawn said: "This is an open forum where people can chat to one another about their experiences and share knowledge.

"It is free to attend and people can purchase cakes and coffee."

The first session runs from 6pm-8pm on Wednesday, April 24.
