"Resources" is a re-imagining of the most famous story ever
recounted, wherein Lilith and Eve meet for the first time.





Women were created twice in the Old Testament. Lilith, the first woman in the world, was formed from dust by God and placed in the garden with Adam until issues emerged between Adam and Lilith when Adam attempted to exert dominance over her. Lilith then abandoned the Garden of Eden in order to seek her independence. The open-ended nature of the Lilith symbol has allowed different groups to use her as a destructive female symbol or a symbol of female power.
The second woman Eve was also created by God, according to the second chapter, by removing her from Adam's rib to be Adam's companion. She decides to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the result is that Adam and Eve are expelled from the Garden of Eden.These two “sinner” women meet for the first time in a gorgeous nameless limbo where they only communicate through the moments of nature

ORIGINS
Named in honor of Bernard Crettaz's cafe mortel movement, which hosted over 40 death discussions across Switzerland between 2004-2010. Crettaz promoted open conversations about mortality by removing the specialist barrier, allowing people to explore their curiosity about death in a safe, structured space.The concept for reimagining funeral rites emerged in 2017, when founder Ruby Cohen Love envisioned her own funeral as a fashion exhibition. This vision evolved into a luxury death-style brand focused on being alive, not on grief.

PHILOSOPHY
Cafe Mortel is about death, but it is for the living. We create space for people to explore their curiosity about death in a safe, structured environment that focuses on being alive. Thinking about death allows you to change your priorities in life - if you plan for your death you will have an awareness of whether you are living the life you want to lead until that time.

SUSTAINABILITY
Committed to sustainable innovation in the death care space, we partner with pioneers ranging from mycelium coffin creators to memorial coral reef restorers. Our circular vision ensures that end-of-life practices contribute to environmental regeneration rather than depletion.
