I agree tow - that would be perfect for me too. Can I add "without pain" too? I think many people are frightened of dying in agony.

I think a good death , for me, would be one without fear , in my own bed, house and finances all in order , alone and quietly .

A few days ago I attended a funeral, and today I was asked to say prayers at the bedside of someone who had just died. It got me thinking about what constitutes a 'good' death.
My mother in law is a musical director and I know that she would love to go suddenly - and preferably whilst conducting a really good choir piece. I'd like to quietly slip away with my husband at my side.
And for you a good death would be............?
