Working together, the cemetery and funeral home can arrange for all of your memorialization needs. At Centuries, we take care of you and your loved ones like you’re a part of our own family—no matter your background, religion, culture or beliefs.

Chapel at Centuries Memorial Funeral HomeHunting enthusiast? We’ll display the gear. Connoisseur of Louisiana cuisine? Our catering service is happy to whip up étouffée and jambalaya or meat pies. Share your stories and we'll design something truly wonderful.

An interactive way to memorialize a loved one

In 2016, we were among the first Dignity Memorial® providers to test an interactive remembrance video technology called Remember When®. This service allows family members and friends to share photographs and comments about a loved one in real time.

During a visitation, guests get a unique link where they can upload photographs and write comments. Pictures and notes are instantly displayed on a screen during the service. Even guests who are not able to attend the service can share their favorite memories.

Afterward, we turn the display of photos and memories into a printed and bound book to be treasured forever.

Your trusted provider

Centrally located in the Southern Hills neighborhood of Shreveport, Centuries Memorial Funeral Home sits at the intersection of Mansfield Road and LA 3132. In addition to Shreveport, we serve families from Bossier City, the parishes of Caddo, Bossier and Desoto, and the surrounding Ark-La-Tex community.

As members of the Dignity Memorial network, Centuries Memorial Funeral Home and Centuries Memorial Park provide the compassionate care you expect from Shreveport businesses as well as the amenities and benefits you deserve from North America’s largest network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers.

You are always welcome to stop by Centuries to meet our staff. We're also happy to give you a tour of the funeral home and cemetery.

Centuries Memorial Park cemetery

Situated on more than 80 acres of immaculately groomed gardens, Centuries Memorial Park has been a peaceful final resting place for people in the Ark-La-Tex community since the 1940s.

Beautiful cemetery gardens

Water feature at Centuries Memorial ParkMany of our gardens have unique features that enhance the beauty of the property and set us apart from other cemeteries in Shreveport. Visitors enjoy our lovely 3-tiered fountain, the American flags displayed in our veterans gardens, the soaring eagle in our American Heritage garden, as well as the various religious features found throughout the cemetery. A gazebo for funeral and memorial services sits in our Northside Estates garden.

Burial and memorialization options

Cremation garden at Centuries Memorial ParkCenturies Memorial Park offers many burial options: traditional in-ground interment with flat or upright monuments, family estates, private or community mausoleum entombment options and cremation options such as niches, columbaria and benches.

Historic Bell Tower

Landscaping at Centuries Memorial ParkOn the south side of Centuries Memorial Park, you’ll find the historic Bell Tower, a stately 3-story stone structure built in the 1930s that houses 200 glass-front niches.

Encased in marble, these niches can be personalized in any way you desire. Families can place pictures, keepsakes, urns and more in their loved ones’ niches—anything that illustrates a person’s life story. Think: golf balls for your golf pro, a cookie jar for your dessert lover, die-cast cars for a racing fan or a box of jewelry for the fanciest gal in town.

The Bell Tower rings every half hour, 7 am-8 pm. Its harmonious tones travel throughout Centuries Memorial Park.

Honoring veterans and military families

Veterans section at Centuries Memorial ParkTo honor the brave men and women who fought for our country’s freedom, we have dedicated 2 veterans gardens: Veterans Field of Honor I and II. The newer garden has a patriotic feature of an American flag on a pedestal, adding to the garden’s dignified appearance.

We also participate in the Dignity Memorial Homeless Veterans Burial Program to provide dignified and honorable burials for eligible homeless or impoverished veterans.

Room for growth

Landscaping at Centuries Memorial ParkAt Centuries, we understand how important it is to look to the future. Roughly half of our 80 acres are undeveloped, meaning we can add new gardens, sections and features when we need to—and that we’ll be able to serve many more generations of Shreveport families.

"From the receptionist to the representative everyone I encountered were very pleasant and accommodating. Upon entering the office I was made to feel welcome. My representative, Joann made me feel as if I was her only customer of the day. She was very patient, took the time to explain the services available, provided a tour of the cemetery as well as the chapel and other areas of the facility. The grounds and facility were immaculate and I felt comfortable selecting Centuries as a final resting place. I never felt pressured to make a decision at that time. She assured me that she was there to help me with any questions or concerns I might have. The Staff was OUTSTANDING!!"

"The cards were removed from the flowers received in memory of our loved one. Only after we had written thank you notes, guessing at who sent what, did we find the list and pictures of flowers in the guest book. It provided all the information we needed. We just didn't realize it was there."
