From the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition

Tibetan Buddhist Practices for the Best Possible Death and Rebirth

Tonglen Meditation is an excellent practice with a broad application. In the context of Death and Rebirth, Tonglen Meditation is excellent for lay people with life threatening and terminal illnesses. Their family members can also learn the meditation. Everyone will benefit. Dharma practitioners, of course, do this practice, too, but also have other practices that they can learn that lay people would not be able to do.
