Hospice Volunteers Hospice volunteers are special individuals who dedicate their spare time to helping others cope with the death of loved ones. In addition, they are charged with the responsibility of helping the terminally ill die with dignity. Hospice volunteers perform a variety of duties, dependent upon the needs of the patient and his or her family. They must understand circumstances of family dynamics and are trained to help patients and their family cope during the dying process and after the patient’s death.
