| Feb 15, 2015 at 11:38 | comment | added | user66974 | As suggested to die in one's bed or at home is often used to convey the idea; a wish that is increasing: "As many as 74pc say their want their last weeks and days in the familiar surroundings of their own home, up from 67pc who were asked the same question in a similar poll 10 years ago".independent.ie/irish-news/health/… | |
