Forest Lawn Funeral Home

We pride ourselves on making our facility feel like a second home - a true place for peace, comfort, and warmth. Our facility is equipped to provide you and your family only the very best and we invite you to explore all that we have to offer.

It was the desire of James H. Alexander and Barry Theriot to open a locally owned and operated funeral home that would offer competitive pricing, provide funeral services to all area cemeteries, and accept transfers of pre-planned arrangements made with other funeral providers.

All of our attention is devoted to making our funeral home the best it can be in terms of satisfying the needs of our friends and neighbors. We are not distracted nor bound by corporate mandates. We're more flexible. More responsive to your needs. This is our business. You can be assured we take great personal pride in keeping our facility and our vehicles in top condition.

Many families reach out to us with letters, emails, and by phone after the conclusion of the services to let us know how much our support and guidance meant to them in their time of need, and we're honored to receive such heartfelt praise. We feel that these messages speak for themselves and we'd like to share them with you.
