abouT

motaliTEA has been born out of one woman's passion to see people (living and dead) liberated from the constrictions that our society has over the way we interact with our dead. Frustrated by the way people thought about death, Lisa-Jayne decided to begin breaking down the barriers to conversations, busting the myths that surround funeral practices, finding out what exactly the law does and doesn't have to say, learning from other cultures, and just generally hanging around with the dead to see what they might have to teach us, the living.

"People feel unable to ask questions" says Lisa-Jayne, "In the UK we've grown up in a culture where we don't talk much about death and dying, and if we do we are branded morbid, weird or a bit of a goth. I'm here to tell you that you are none of those things (well you might be a bit of a goth I suppose, but you are definitely not weird or morbid) you are a naturally curious human, and by asking the questions now, you are setting yourself up for the best possible death you can have."

There is no shying away from anything at mortaliTEA, if you've got a question, they'll be an answer to it and if we don't know it, we'll point you in the right direction or we'll jolly well go and find out.

what about the TEA?

we are called mortliTEA so surely there is tea involved?

Well yes, there is, we believe that there is no better way to have conversations with our loved ones about what might seem difficult subjects than over tea.

rest assured, also, if you come to any of our events, we will be sure to have the kettle on!
