Lighthouse Family Mortuary officially opened its second location at 320 E. 27th St. in Loveland on September 1, 2026. The new facility features a chapel with a capacity of 150 people.
Why it matters
The owners established the business to provide personal funeral services and offer free care for children, specifically rejecting corporate policies regarding these costs. They created the Lighthouse Family Fund to fully cover all expenses for children's funeral services.
The new Loveland chapel provides a capacity for 150 mourners, significantly smaller than the 1,200-person capacity at the firm's location at Generations Church. The company currently maintains 25-28% of the Weld County death market.
