An a-cappella group volunteers around hospitals to sing to dying patients. They offer it as a comforting service. Interestingly, many patients feel less alone and less afraid to die as a result. The group featured in the article performs their own original songs. Depending on the patient, a group may be singing from 15-45min. However, rarely do the singers witness a patient's last dying breath.
What an interesting service to offer. I think it really shows the power and effect of music.
