The present study aimed to understand the beliefs about death of a group of elderly people from a geriatric residence in Metropolitan Lima. The methodology used was qualitative and hermeneutic design. For the research analysis, a sample of eleven older adults of both sexes, ranging in age from 72 to 95 years, was sought. The data collection instrument applied was the semi-structured interview with open-ended questions. The results were organized in four dimensions; the first one pointed out that older adults believe that when they reach old age they become vulnerable; second, that religious beliefs surrounding death help older adults to accept this process better than those who do not profess a religion; thirdly, this population believes that death is the end of their suffering; and finally, the fears and anxieties that come with thoughts about death will depend on the personal history of each individual. The research concludes that beliefs about death in these elderly are influenced by their social environment, personal experiences, perception of old age and the religion they profess.
