Changes on health care support and governmental health policies may influence on the deaths statistics, as directing occurrences to home or related institutions, when it is possible.

Methods: An analysis was conducted about frequency of death occurred in Londrina, on National System of Information about Mortality (SIM) considering the main causes and place of death. Results: There was an increase of 28% in death of the general population but 48% for population over 60 years old. There was an increase on frequency of death in hospitals, which were responsible for 70% of the occurrences, although death frequencies in others places did not increase, and domiciliary occurrence rate was about 18%. Conclusions: The place of death frequencies did not change during this period, even with health policies that increased the support on other places, like patient´s home.
