Ageing population is rapidly increasing in Nepal due to the decrement in fertility rate and increment in life expectancy. Alongside this, due to modernization and industrialization, people in this competitive economy are living individualistic lives, and elderly care has been considered a burden and unproductive field, which forces many senior citizens to end their later lives in care centers and old age homes. The main objective of the study is to explore the religious, cultural, and social perceptions of older adults living in old age homes towards death and dying and also to study the role of the care centers and caregivers in shaping the image of death and dying. This research used primary and secondary sources of information, and interviews were conducted using the qualitative data collection method. This paper explored the perception of the elderly towards life and death, images of death and dying, frequency of thinking about death, paths, and motivation to improve the factors affecting the attitude towards death and dying, and the role of care centers and caregivers in shaping the attitude of the elderly towards death and dying. From this paper, it is `hoped that policymakers, researchers, and caregivers will take attitudes towards death and dying into consideration while providing services and facilities to the elderly and the hope is to promote more active and fruitful ageing.
