A Good Death Across Cultures
Captions available
The idea
Themes of a good death recur across cultures, freedom from pain, preparation, connection, respect and spirituality, but their weight differs.
In practice
One family gathering at a hospital bedside, another honouring a wish to die at home, a third following religious rites.
Where people slip
The misconception is that a good death means the same thing everywhere.
