Bloomerberg's How Americans Die is a really interesting graphic. By that I mean it's (1) very pretty, (2) very well laid out and (3) really interesting in how it uses several graphs each with text to slowly make a point about a complex subject.
Nevertheless, I'm not sure what that point is. It shifts between charts of mortality and number of deaths but doesn't always seem to take into account changes in population size (particularly when it concentrates on specific age ranges). But wow, it includes this fact "about a third of all deaths are people 85 and older". That's way higher than I would have expected.
