Abstract
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints accept modern medical science and believe in receiving medical treatment along with seeking divine guidance and inspiration. At the same time, situations of life and death can throw people into stressful places they have never been before, bringing challenges even to people of deep faith. Medical professionals can better support Latter-day Saints if they understand how their beliefs answer questions about life and death, including, "Where did I come from? Why am I here on earth? Where am I going after death?" This chapter examines the origin, beliefs, and practices of the Church to give medical professionals a foundational understanding of what is important to members at the end of life. It includes sections on beliefs and practices, including those relevant to medical treatment, end-of-life decisions, death and burial.
