Langley Hospice Society is a community-based non-profit organization that offers compassionate support to help people live with dignity and hope while coping with grief and the end of life. Their mission is to ensure that all community residents have access to quality end-of-life care and bereavement support at every stage of their journey. The society believes in respecting every person’s value and seeks to provide comfort, emotional, practical, and spiritual support throughout the final stages of illness, death, and bereavement.

The society focuses on serving the City of Langley, Fort Langley, the Township of Langley, Aldergrove, and Cloverdale. These areas make up their primary geographic reach, and there is no indication of national or international programs. The society also operates the Doug and Fran MacDonald Langley Hospice Residence, providing specialized care for people in their community. Their programs and services are designed to meet the needs of local residents, and their events and fundraising are community-based.

Program highlights include individual and group grief support for children, teens, adults, and families, both before and after a loss. They offer the Supportive Steps walking group for bereaved adults, art and play-based support for grieving youth, and outreach in local schools. The society provides education, advocacy, specialized volunteer training, a resource library, and social activities such as yoga for the grieving. All programs are free of charge, funded by donations, a thrift store, events, grants, and a service contract with Fraser Health. Their philosophy is to help people live well right to the end, offering support at home, in hospital, or in a hospice residence. The recent opening of a new hospice with 15 private rooms and specialized care spaces further strengthens their community support.
