>>(K'tzas  Kasha: By doing Taharos they benefit the loved ones who can 
return the favor.  Also people doing Tahros will no doubt be more assured of 
their own eventual  Tahara by doing them for others when they were still alive. 
So I'm not sure why  it is always cited as the ultimate Chesed with no 
expected return benefit. But I  digress<<

It is considered the ultimate not because the relatives can't thank you or  
return a favor, and not because you don't get schar -- but because THE 
PERSON  YOU ARE HELPING can never help you or even thank you in any way.
 
It seems to me that the same level of chessed would occur if you helped a  
person who was alive but completely incapacitated, mentally and physically.
