The answer is at home, cared for by their family.

In 1900, most people died at home, cared for by their family. This was due to the lack of advanced medical facilities and the cultural norm of family-based care during illness and death.

Hospitals were not as prevalent or as advanced in 1900 as they are today. Most people did not have access to hospital care, and it was not common for people to die in hospitals.

Nursing homes were not as common in 1900, and the concept of institutionalized elderly care was not widespread.

Hospice care, as we understand it today, did not exist in 1900. The modern hospice movement began in the 1960s.

The answer is Americans are generally death avoiders and death deniers.

While some Americans may hold this belief, it is not a defining aspect of the American attitude toward death. Many Americans believe in an afterlife or spiritual continuation.

Reincarnation is not a widely held belief in American culture. It is more commonly associated with certain Eastern religions and philosophies.

Many Americans do believe in some form of spiritual existence after death, whether it be heaven, an afterlife, or another form of spiritual continuation.
