Knowing the preferred place of terminal care is helpful in the provision of services for the terminally ill. We carried out a survey of cancer in-patients and their relatives to determine the local preference for place of terminal care as well as the factors that affected their choice. ⋯ There is a greater preference in cancer patients for terminal care at home. This is especially so for the elderly and if there is assurance of domiciliary care. This is an impetus for greater support of home care services.
