There is some evidence that Americans will schedule their deaths in order to save on taxes (http://www.columbia.edu/~wk2110/bin/dying-final.pdf http://www.columbia.edu/~wk2110/bin/dying-final.pdf). I wouldn't be surprised if the cultural equivalent is scheduling one's death to give your loved ones more vacation time...
