SacredFlight

A palliative music practice for end of life care

SacredFlight

SacredFlight is a not-for-profit charitable organization of certified music-thanatologists. We serve people who are terminally ill or dying, providing live music prescriptively with harp and voice in hospitals, hospices, nursing homes, and private residences in the greater Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, areas. We are also available for educational presentations to community groups and healthcare organizations.
