Welcome to Sunset Singers. We are small group of singers dedicated to helping loved ones cross their thresholds as calmly and peacefully as possible. We all feel a special calling to sing for the terminally ill and dying.
COVID-19 NOTICE!
Due to the visting restrictions and the need to refrain from being in close contact with others, we are temporarily putting hospice singing visits on hold. Here are links to a few songs that families may comforting until we can once again provide our songs.

IMPRESSIONS:
"Hospice singing is for the family, as much and sometimes more, than the patient and can provide a much needed 'crying space' for everyone to begin to accept the final journey of a loved one." ~ Cynthia, Chaplain at Hospice House, 2016
