Hospice’s Light Up a Life ceremony is held on the first Sunday in December at our main campus in Kearneysville. Other ceremonies are held in Berkeley Springs and Romney. Friends of Hospice of the Panhandle can remember or honor loved ones by dedicating a circle of light, angel or light for the Hospice of the Panhandle luminary service. There also is a special section of lights for veterans being recognized by their families. Hundreds of luminaries, all representing loved ones, neighbors and family members, line the entryway of Hospice’s campus, the campus of CNB in Berkeley Springs and Shaffer’s Funeral Home in Romney.
