Let's celebrate life

Chapel at Greenoaks Funeral HomeThe team at Greenoaks Funeral Home understands the importance of a final tribute that tells a story of a life. Funeral service options have evolved since the business opened in the early 1990s, but our commitment to high standards remains unchanged. Whatever your wishes, we're here to see that they're followed and that every detail is taken care of.

Whether you are seeking a cremation and a scattering, a full traditional funeral with a graveside service and cemetery burial, or a modern celebration of life with live music, catering and a send-off that reflects the personality and passions of your loved one, we go the extra mile to make it happen—and we do it with a level of care and compassion that's uncommon in this world.

Want a dove release? You got it. A crawfish boil? You can have that, too. A zydeco band and key chains as mementos? Yes and yes. The list is nearly endless. Our caring and compassionate staff takes the time to visit with your family and help plan a unique and personalized celebration of your loved one's life.

History

Greenoaks Memorial Park cemetery was founded by H.B. Parker in 1949. In 1991, Greenoaks Memorial Park joined the Dignity Memorial® network, the largest network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers in North America.

The funeral home was added to the 80-acre property in 1994 to better meet the needs of the Baton Rouge community and the surrounding areas. Greenoaks Life Celebration Reception Center opened on May 21, 2009. The facility was designed to accommodate large receptions as well as community events and gatherings.

As we grow and evolve, Greenoaks Funeral Home and Greenoaks Memorial Park remain committed to providing the same personal and professional service that the people of Baton Rouge area have come to expect.

"My husband unexpectedly died due to COVID and Patrick and Steven were wonderful during the entire process of planning his funeral. They were patient and caring to myself and my children as we went through each step of the planning. They took their time with us and have called to check up on us after the funeral and after Hurricane Ida came through. Very compassionate and caring of the family."

"My father was and is buried here in the Garden of Liberty so it only made sense that I would use GreenOaks Memorial to bury my husband. Although it's a place where many people grieve, it's also a place of peace for families who go to visit their loved ones grave site. I humbly appreciate everyone here who helped me before, during and after the internment."
