This study aimed to explore the experiences of families of brain-dead patients regarding religio-cultural facilitators and barriers in decision-making for organ donation. This is a qualitative descriptive study, in which a total of eighteen families of brain-dead patients were recruited using purposive sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured face-to-face interviews. After recording and transcribing the interviews, concepts were extracted using conventional content analysis. The main theme was entitled "religio-cultural facilitators and barriers in decision-making on organ donation" and consisted of four main categories, including two facilitators of "life-giving culture" and "life-giving sacredness" and two barriers of "decision-making skepticism" and "opportunity-burning religiousization". Therefore, cultural and religious issues require further attention and a more realistic and logical cultural and religious perspective toward organ donation should be created at the societal level
