This thesis explores changes in the practices of ”returning home to die” in funeral and burial rituals and the factors concerned and examines death locations in the causes of death data over the years and discovers that in Taiwan's society, although there are still people who choose to die at home, more and more people die away from home. It then analyzes the key factors influencing this ritual with multinorminal logistic regression and finds out that some factors, such as sex, age, states of marriage, causes of death and household registration, can be used to predict whether or not a person will choose to spend the rest of his days at home. This method, however, is more effective in predicting past behavior than present ones.
