Lighthouse Family Mortuary

Lighthouse Family Mortuary operates at 3600 West 22nd Street in Greeley as the city's only family-owned and operated funeral home. The business is led by Ziyad Zakaria and Chris Mayhue, both former first responders who transitioned from law enforcement and emergency medicine to funeral service. Zakaria holds a Fire Science degree from Miramar College, paramedic certification, POST certification, and is a Certified Medicolegal Death Investigator. He previously served with the Weld County Sheriff's Office and as a Deputy Coroner. Mayhue, a Colorado native, served with the Erie Police Department from 2007, earning multiple commendations including the Distinguished Service Medal, Life Saving Award, and MADD DUI Enforcement Award before joining the Weld County Coroner's Office as a Medicolegal Death Investigator.

The mortuary's mission centers on creating "exceptional services and experiences" to promote comfort and healing through "Love, Care, and Compassion." The lighthouse imagery throughout their branding reflects their stated commitment to guiding families through difficult periods, with the beacon representing stability during turmoil. The three doves in their logo symbolize the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The facility maintains 24/7 availability for immediate assistance and offers services at their funeral home, client places of worship, cemeteries, or alternate gathering locations.
