Oh, you're right. I often am curious. I was just in a bad place last night. And by bad place I don't mean my home, or any physical location.

Sometimes you can get a clue from the obit, where they say "in lieu of flowers please donate to..." then it's Hospice or the American Heart Association.

I think it's meant as you said, a reassuring phrase, that the person didn't suffer (for very long anyway.)
