A New Year, A Gentle Step Forward

New Year’s Eve can stir up so much—memories of those we miss, gratitude for those still near, and hope for what’s yet to come. So, it’s okay if you’re entering the new year carrying both joy and sorrow.

Grief doesn’t follow the calendar, but neither does love. It lives in the stories we tell, the traditions we keep, and the quiet moments that remind us: they are still with us.

However you’re ending 2025, we hope you feel surrounded by care, comfort, and the courage to begin again—one gentle step at a time.

12/25/2025

As we celebrate this season of hope, love, and remembrance, we want to wish our community a very Merry Christmas. 🎄

We are honored to walk alongside the families we serve… not only in moments of loss, but in moments of reflection, gratitude, and togetherness. May this holiday bring comfort, peace, and cherished time with those you love.

From all of us at Bill Eisenhour, thank you for trusting us to care for what matters most.

📖 A Legacy Is More Than a Plan – It’s a Story

When people think about end-of-life planning, they often picture paperwork and decisions. But your legacy is so much more than that—it’s your story. The music that moved you, the meals you loved, the people you held close.

Planning ahead means you get to help shape how you’ll be remembered. It’s a chance to share your values, your memories, and the parts of your life you want your loved ones to carry forward.

Taking time to reflect on your story can be a meaningful gift to yourself and those who love you. A Legacy Journal is one way you can do it. You can start with one simple question:

“What do I hope my family remembers most about me?”

Your words don’t have to be perfect. They just have to be yours. If you’ve ever thought about preserving your story, we’re here to help guide you—gently and without pressure.

Even the Longest Night Leads to Light

The upcoming Winter Solstice reminds us that even in the darkest seasons, light slowly returns. It’s a quiet turning point – one that mirrors the cycles of life, love, and loss.

Grief, like winter, asks us to slow down. To sit with what’s heavy. But it also reminds us that healing doesn’t happen all at once. It comes in small, gentle shifts, just like the return of the sun.

If you’re moving through a season of sorrow, may today bring a little peace, a little warmth, and the hope of brighter days ahead.

Grief Can Look Different This Time of Year

Grief doesn’t follow a calendar, and it doesn’t always show up the same way. During the holidays, it may appear as sadness – or it might show up as exhaustion, quietness, irritability, or even unexpected laughter that’s followed by tears.

There’s no right or wrong way to grieve. You might need space. Or you might need closeness. You might feel joy and sorrow in the very same moment. However it shows up, it’s valid.

If you’re carrying heartache into this season, be gentle with yourself. You’re doing the best you can –and that is more than enough.

💛 A Meaningful Place to Honor a Legacy

When families choose cremation, many also want a permanent place where memories can be visited, shared, and cherished for generations. A Private Pedestal offers exactly that.

Thoughtfully designed and beautifully crafted, this cored pedestal holds up to four placements, creating a shared space where loved ones can remain together. It’s a meaningful option for couples, siblings, or families who want their stories to continue side by side.

Set within a peaceful cemetery setting, a Private Pedestal becomes more than a memorial. It becomes a gathering place — a spot for reflection, quiet conversations, and moments of connection that keep a legacy alive.

If you're planning ahead or exploring options for your family, a Private Pedestal offers a timeless and personal way to create a lasting tribute.

Walking Beside Families, One Heart at a Time

In this video, Akeah Aschmeller, one of our dedicated funeral directors at Bill Eisenhour Northeast Funeral Home, shares what inspires her every day.

For Akeah, this work is more than a profession. It’s a calling.
Every family she meets is different. Every story is unique. And every day brings a new opportunity to serve with compassion and care.

She understands that while funeral directors do this every day, most families do not. Many are walking through this experience for the very first time – uncertain, overwhelmed, and carrying the weight of loss.

That’s why Akeah begins with a simple, heartfelt request:
“Tell me what’s on your mind right now.”
From there, she listens. She guides. She helps each family feel comfortable, supported, and never alone as they navigate the days ahead.

Her compassion, her patience, and her desire to continually grow in her role are just a few of the reasons we are honored to have her serving our community.

Gentle Ways To Support The Grieving This Season

The holidays can be beautiful—and bittersweet. For someone who’s grieving, this season might feel a little heavier, a little quieter. You may not know what to say, but your presence alone can mean so much.

Here are a few simple ways to support someone who’s grieving this season:

Send a handwritten card with a favorite memory

Offer to run an errand or drop off a meal

Invite them to attend a holiday gathering or outing, but give them the freedom to say no

Say their loved one’s name

Check in on milestone days (anniversaries, birthdays, holidays)

Just listen without trying to fix anything

You don’t have to have the right words. Just showing up with kindness can be a lifeline. Grief is heavy, but no one should carry it alone.

🎁 The Gift No One Thinks Of

Not every meaningful gift comes wrapped in a box. Some are felt in quiet moments, like when your family is confident about your wishes, and there’s no need to wonder what you would’ve wanted, or carry the burden of planning during a time of grief.

Preplanning isn’t about expecting the worst. It’s about offering your loved ones peace of mind when they’ll need it most. It’s one of the most thoughtful, lasting gifts you can give… a way of saying “I love you enough to make this easier.”

This time of year - with so much focus on presents and giving - is the perfect opportunity to prepare your final gift for those you love.

If this is something that’s been on your heart, we’re always here to help, no pressure, just care.

📖 Sometimes, Words Hold Us When Nothing Else Can

Grief has its own language, and sometimes, the right book can express what our hearts are feeling. Whether you’re grieving, remembering, or simply needing comfort, the right words can be a quiet companion and balm to your hurting heart.

Here are a few books that have brought peace to others walking through loss:
“Healing After Loss” by Martha Whitmore Hickman
“The Invisible String” by Patrice Karst (for children and adults alike)
“It’s OK That You’re Not OK” by Megan Devine
“Bearing the Unbearable” by Joanne Cacciatore
“Grief Day by Day” by Jan Warner
“Experiencing Grief” by H. Norman Wright

The right book won’t take the grief away, but it might remind you that your feelings are valid, your love is lasting, and your story is still unfolding.

Have you read a book that brought you comfort during a difficult time? Please share so we can add it to our list!
