Hospice Caregiver Awards Banquet

At Langelands we hear over and over how our families are blessed by being supported by a hospice worker prior to their loved ones death. So in 2015 Langelands began the tradition of selecting through your nominations a monthly recipient of the Langeland Hospice Caregiver of the Month. This special individual is identified as a person who is exceptional in their hospice caregiving role.

Then annually in October Langeland Family Funeral Homes arranges a banquet at the Westside location in honor of the 12 monthly recipients of the Hospice Caregiver Awards. Along with their invitation to this special evening they are encourage to bring several guests with them to share this honor with.

The photos to the right were taken at the most recent Hospice Caregiver Awards Banquet in October 2023. At this banquet, Danielle Lucas was selected as our Hospice Caregiver of the year.

During the evening’s program each of the Hospice Caregivers were recognized. Each of the monthly hospice caregiver award recipients were asked questions about their role as a hospice worker. The program consisted of introducing each of the monthly award winners and telling a little bit about their value as a Hospice worker. The Hospice Caregiver of the Year was then announced at the banquet.

The Candlelight Holiday Memorial Ceremony is held annually at the Langeland Westside Chapel on 9th Street. This is an opportunity for those who are grieving a loved one to have the opportunity to hear their name read and to light a candle in their honor. This special ceremony also includes special music and a brief message of hope and comfort for those entering into what can be a difficult season. Following the ceremony they may take home a candle and join us for refreshments in our reception room.

Langeland Funeral Homes has also combine this with a special tribute to Veterans as it takes place close to Veterans Day.
