Funeral Services And Cemeteries in Baton Rouge

“Our family had the most wonderful experience with all at Resthaven during our difficult time of losing our mother: Emma, particularly, was kind, patient, and very caring. Listening to us, Emma met all our expectations, answered all questions, and was very upfront with us without trying to upsell. I highly recommend Resthaven.“

“They are kind, caring and professional. Everything was explained clearly. I highly recommend using them!“

“Ricci, David, Jennifer, Heather B. And Heather were very helpful and courteous when we came in to finalize my father-in-law’s funeral arrangements. The complete staff at Greenoaks were very accommodating.
Ricci went over and beyond, even contacting us when she was off of work. The wake and funeral were beautiful honorable arrangements.“

“My mother Nomzamo Iyanu passed away on June 28 2025 around 3 AM in the morning. Her body lays rest at the Winfield funeral home graveyard on plank Road in Baton Rouge Louisiana. A year before my mom passed she told me what she wanted to wear for her funeral. She always said she wanted African dancers and for it to be a celebration. The Winfield funeral home, exceeded my expectations. They did such an amazing job. We worked directly with Mr. Wil Carter, Mr. Christian Slaughter, Miss Renea Spears and Leslie Burnstein. Each one of them did an excellent job. They were extremely professional. They were patient with us as we changed different things like the order of the program, my mothers clothing and jewelry, the picture video, and the blessing of my mothers body. They gave us the time that we needed to get everything in order and they showed up to the program matching our theme, African attire. They exceeded in every area. They picked us up on time in the limo, brought us to the private room where we wouldn’t be bombarded with all of the people attending the funeral, they flowed with us during the funeral and kept checking in to make sure everything was flowing as it’s supposed to. They even printed out additional programs so that all attendees could have one. There was a moment during the funeral, where I began to whale, and I was not able to be the point person, a helpful person, or anything like that. Mr. Will Carter personally made sure that I was able to do the last and final thing I wanted to do at the funeral, which was go up and do a viewing of my mom. If it wasn’t for him, I would have not been at the piece that I am now. When I broke down and wailed, it was because I knew that everything was done beautifully. The place is clean. The bathrooms are clean. All the staff was nice. I couldn’t have asked for more. If you do end up meeting them because of a loss, they will take great care of you. Please try to remember that they are taking care of you to the best of their ability and that they also deserve recognition and support. Please take out the time to say a special prayer for them as well and to thank them because I promise you they will deliver and it will be elegant.

I do want to add one more thing. Miss Renea Spears is the person that did my mom‘s dressing. She put her clothes on her. She cleaned her jewelry and she did her make up. Miss Spears and my mom have been friends for at least 20 years. This was such an amazing blessing. Miss Spears started off as a neighbor and customer at my moms boutique. They became friends. Miss Rene knows what my mom really looks like and knows the level of dressing that my mom did for herself and for her customers. Miss Soears was able to give my mom that final Nomzamo special. She did great and she looked good in Nomzamo’s clothes!

“They were so thorough and flexible in assisting with end of life plans. Highly recommend them to take care of your funeral and end of life planning. Randy Dugas helped me at Rabenhorst East. He was very knowledgeable and friendly.“

“After calling and running behind another monument/headstone company across the river, I found Roselawn Monument and went to book an appointment. The staff was professionally and once we sat down to design the monument, Shelly let us design it custom to our desires. The turnaround time was very impressive (initially was told 4 months which is reasonable based off conversations with another company who we had to do everything on-site/no human interaction - we designed it on their website but the man was never available to discuss the design); it only took approximately 6-7 weeks for product (headstone) additional vase (for my Grandmother) and install.I would recommend this company to anyone in the BR and surroundings areas.“
