A: When I came to work with my father, of blessed memory, it was rare for someone to die at home. Even if a death took place there, an individual would often be taken to a hospital to be pronounced dead. With Hospice playing a leading role in the end of life today, more than 50 percent of deaths take place at home among the family.
