Making a [[Religious conversion|conversion]] on one's [[:wikt:deathbed|deathbed]] may reflect an immediate change of belief, a desire to formalize longer-term beliefs, or a desire to complete a process of conversion already underway. Claims of the deathbed conversion of famous or influential figures have also been used in history as [[rhetorical devices]].
