To respond effectively to an increasingly culturally diverse population, healthcare staff, researchers and policymakers need to invest in the provision of culturally sensitive end-of-life care. Areas for improvement include: (a) increased awareness of cultural needs and the role of family members; (b) cultural training for healthcare staff; (c) access to interpreters and translated information and (d) involvement of older migrants in end-of-life discussions, research and policymaking.
