Annotation	One of the most challenging aspects of death education and grief counselling is to provide care and education that is relevant to the client's cultural, racial and ethnic needs. It is often difficult to find appropriate responses, for lack a relevant model; otherwise, practitioners tend to operate from facts collected in isolation. This article reports on an assessment model originally developed in nursing by Giger and Davidhizar, and discusses its potential use in providing culturally relevant death education and grief counselling.
