Balfour Mount was the father of palliative care in North America

October 5, 2025

In August, 1980, Balfour Mount’s mother, Maude, had one last request before she died. She wanted to see where she was going to be buried, not a picture, but the real thing.

And so, the son drove her and his father to the cemetery in Ottawa. They went through the gates and came to a stop at the end of the road, where he gestured to the plot, just beyond a grass-covered rise. But it still wasn’t enough.
