The Lighthouse

The lighthouse first appeared on Ancient Egypt several Millennia ago, about 1000 B.C. originally, the brick towers with large fires atop them served as beacons to the faithful, guiding them to sites of religious ceremonies.

They evolved to serve a different purpose. Sailors relied on the beacon for guidance. Their size, shape, and operations may vary, but to the mariner the dependable service was reassuring. Just like mariners centuries ago, today’s sailors sometime use the lighthouse’s beacon for safe passage from dangerous and turbulent waters into safe harbors. Historically, the lighthouse has been credited with saving many lives and immeasurable cost of merchandise.

Like the meaning of the lighthouse, we too feel here at the Lochstampfor Funeral Home, Inc. that it is our task to help guide the families we service through the many rough and hard waters of making funeral or cremation arrangements. It is the job of the directors and staff to help in the guidance of families through these rough waters. This is why Mr. Lochstampfor believes strongly that there are no dumb or wrong questions other than the ones never asked.

This year, as part of our continued service and in working with programs with Veterans we are proud to sponsor "Wreaths Across America through PFDA (Pennsylvania State Funeral Directors Association). If you would like to sponsor a wreath for Christmas on a US Veterans Grave at our local National Cemetery, Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, (east of Harrisburg) Please call or email our office and we will be glad to forward a sponsor for.
