Music Thanatology

Tonight I was looking for pictures of Anchorage's Providence Hospital online (reference for Midnight Sun, although I may end up just making up a hospital to make my life easier), and discovered that Providence's full range of spiritual services for the sick and bereaved includes THIS interesting option.

While it's kind of a nice *idea*, there's just something stunningly surreal about the idea of a blond lady with a full-size harp playing music at your dying loved one's bedside. For one thing, can you imagine being in a coma and waking up to THAT?

Hookay, I'm an RN and I have never heard of this...(better than some of my musical efforts...you want to ease the passage, not hasten it).
