Guidance When You Need It Most

At Guiding Light Directory, we believe the time after a loss should be for healing, not for hassle. The burden of phone calls, price comparisons, and logistical details can feel overwhelming when you're grieving. We founded this service on a simple principle: you shouldn't have to navigate this alone. We are your dedicated planning advocates. Our completely free concierge service provides you with a personal assistant who handles the hardest parts for you. They make the calls, compare your options from our vetted network of partners, and manage the details on your behalf. There are no hidden fees. Our mission is singular: to give you the time and space to honor your loved one and find peace, while we handle the rest.
Begin Your Guided Plan

Completely Free for You. Here’s How.

We are not a funeral home. We are your personal planning service. Our mission is to make this process easier. We are compensated by our network of vetted partner funeral homes and florists who pay a fee to be connected with families like yours who are ready to make decisions. This allows us to offer our concierge service to you at no cost, with no fine print.

Featured Obituaries

Jellybean Johnson
1956 - 2025 Jellybean Johnson started his career as the drummer for the influential Minneapolis funk band Flyte Tyme, working alongside Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. He was originally brought into The Time by Morris Day, and among all the musicians celebrated in Purple Rain, Johnson has stayed the truest to his local roots. You can still catch him performing with passion any night. It's as if he steps back in time to 1984. May he rest in peace.

Why Families Trust Us

I couldn't believe it was free, but there was no catch. They saved me.

I thought free concierge was too good to be true. I was wrong. They saved me thousands of dollars by comparing prices for me, and their service cost me nothing. I tell everyone about Guiding Light.

"My assistant, Mariah, called three funeral homes, got their general price lists, and summarized it all in a simple email. She asked them questions I wouldn't have even thought of. She was my advocate."

After my mom passed, I didn't know where to start. Guiding Light didn't just give me a plan, they were my plan. Allison made the calls I couldn't bear to make and gave me my sanity back.
