This is a perfect opportunity for End of Life Doulas, Bereavement and Grief Councilors, Thanatology and Gerontology Students, Medical and Health Professionals, Energy Healing Practitioners, Clergy Members and more!


Bereavement Volunteers to offer support and compassion to family members once a hospice patient has passed. Volunteers may make phone calls, do in-person visits, help organize or co-facilitate support groups, all with the support and guidance of other hospice team members.

Vigil Volunteers typically sit with patients and families during the dying process. A Vigil Volunteer is a presence, compassionate listener, bringer of rituals, still and quiet. They are an invited guest into a most sacred and personal transition. They understand that this transition is physical and spiritual and that each situation or vigil is unique. Vigil Volunteers go to patients when the time of death is near. Their primary concern is the comfort of the patient.

We offer you:

  • FREE TB test
  • Extremely flexible assignments - daytime or evening, weekdays or weekends
  • Convenient FREE training that fits your schedule
  • Ongoing volunteer education
  • Volunteer gatherings
  • And Much More!

If you are available to volunteer in either or both of the above listed capacities we would love to hear from you. Please Contact Volunteer Coordinator, Vellus Campbell at 732-731-8100 or email velluscampbell@holisticarehospice.org for more information!
