Yes.  Dementia patient sometimes forget that loved ones (parents, partners, etc) have died, and ask where they are. If you tell them they're dead,  they will experience the same grief as they did the first time they learned of their death.  IMO, there's no good reason to subject them to that heartache again and again.
