Preferred place of care and death is a widely used quality measure for palliative and end of life care services. In this paper we explore the use of Zygmunt Bauman’s ideas on solid and liquid modernity to understand the complexity of the social geographical contexts of delivering and receiving care. While solid ways of dying offer certainty and standardised care, more liquid ways allow for individualised care connected to family and communities.Understanding the complex tensions between solid and liquid aspects of palliative care may allow practitioners to help dying people to die in the ways and places they prefer.

Abstract
Preferred place of care and death is a widely used quality measure for palliative and end of life care services. In this paper we explore the use of Zygmunt Bauman’s ideas on solid and liquid modernity to understand the complexity of the social geographical contexts of delivering and receiving care. While solid ways of dying offer certainty and standardised care, more liquid ways allow for individualised care connected to family and communities.Understanding the complex tensions between solid and liquid aspects of palliative care may allow practitioners to help dying people to die in the ways and places they prefer.
