The Three Trees Centre described the session as "an open conversation, with no agenda or set questions."
It stressed that the two-hour event - during which tea and cake was served to visitors - wasn't intended to be macabre nor to be considered a counselling or support group.
Rather it was inspired by a movement started in London around six years ago, with the intention of encouraging discussion of issues relating to death and dying - which are often seen as taboo.
More than 5,000 events have since been organised around the world.
