Given the improvements in medical care in the last century, some patients are indeed saved every day. With over 100,000 deaths worldwide [1], many people are now grieving loved ones. Grief is a process that has evolved over centuries to help humankind overcome anxiety around death and dying. Careful planning and attention should therefore be devoted to supporting patients and families in these challenging times and arranging for some form of last human contact, either in person or via remote technology. People deserve the right to actively engage in the death process of their closest loved ones, to participate in the mortu-ary rituals, and to know where their loved one's body is located or buried. They will need time and the possibility to recognize, validate and share their own feelings of sadness, fear and helplessness.
