๐ŸฅŸ Death Over Dim Sum: What If You Had a Living Funeral? ๐Ÿ’

๐Ÿ—“ Saturday, 1 Nov 2025 | ๐Ÿ•™ 10AM โ€“ 12PM
๐Ÿ“ Dim Sum Social, 119 Tyrwhitt Road

In this final Death Over Dim Sum session of the year, explore a deeply personal question: What if you could attend your own farewell?

A living funeral offers a chance to hear words of love and gratitude while youโ€™re still here โ€” and to reflect on what truly matters before itโ€™s too late.

Over dim sum and tea, join heartfelt conversations on life, remembrance, and authenticity. ๐Ÿต๐Ÿ’ญ
