Introduction...

Losing a loved one or close relative can be a traumatic experience even after a prolonged illness, and no matter how strong we may feel at the time, nothing can prepare us for the reality when it finally comes.

It can be particularly hard for those who are left who may have no immediate family or friends and are left wondering how they will cope after the funeral.

Many already finding it difficult to keep their own affairs in order are suddenly confronted with the need to sort out those of a distant relative or life long partner...when they themselves may be unwell or simply feel unable to face the enormity of the task alone.

Often there are houses to sell and maintain, contents and personal effects to be sorted and sold, bills to pay, people to notify and a host of host of other things which have to be done...the list is endless as anyone who has been through a similar situation will tell you.

Those who have family members on hand to help at these times are deemed fortunate, often remaining relatives may live a considerable distance away and find it impossible to provide the level of support necessary at these times.

On these occasions many have felt the need for some sort of bereavement service which would provide practical ongoing help in a variety of ways for family and friends, as well as those who may be facing an uncertain future on their own.

Lighthouse Ministries has been developed to help you through many of the difficulties you will be facing at this time and are pleased to offer the following range of services:
