The last days of the dying person should be spent in the most peaceful manner possible.
Dying in one's home is also preferred in our culture because it gives the dying person a sense of warmth and familial bond. Reflecting on this, I believe that dying in one's home is also a sign that the eventual death of a family member has already been accepted by the family. It gives the dying person some sense of assurance that everything is going to be well.
Understanding one's belief and practices about death and dying allows us to see the value not only of life but of our immediate social environment. Different practices emerge because of different beliefs regarding this subject-matter but at the end of the day, it all boils down to the objective of having a peaceful death and a better coping state for his/her grieving family.
