Aim: Provision of end-of-life care requires that we have adequate information about the preferred place of death in the population. Since no such study is reported in India, this study was taken up in and around Pune, a large cosmopolitan city.
Setting And Design: A questionnaire was designed in three parts and distributed among the people above the age of 18 in and around Pune.
