The Center for Death Education and Bioethics (CDEB) is a resource center for academic materials concerned with the issue of death, dying and bereavement in contemporary society.  Although the Center for Death Education is affiliated with the Sociology/Archaeology Department of UW-La Crosse, its resources can be helpful to many departments and programs on campus and in the community.

The CDEB has a large collection of journals, books and articles concerned with death, dying, bereavement, terminal illness, hospice care, etc.  We encourage people to come in and use the center's resources for academic projects or to satisfy personal interest; or one may phone or e-mail to inquire about information that is available. CDEB also makes available, at cost, brochures on grief and loss.

LOCATION

The Center is located on the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse campus, in room 337 (on the third floor) of Carl Wimberly Hall.  Wimberly Hall is located in the north central part of campus.  More specific directions and parking information can be found on the campus map.
