How are these sentences different?

A. We made a final decision. B. We made the final decision. I've seen both in literary works, but how are they different? Thanks!

    A - We made a final decision on grandma's burial plot B - We made the final decision to pull the plug on grandma's life support

    The difference in practice is minimal, but to me, A reads as meaning that they were still a little doubtful about the decision they made, while with B it seems the decision was fixed and final, with no idea of possibly re-thinking it.
