Building Cenla Remembers
We want to thank Progressive Funeral Home, Miller & Hill Funeral Directors and Escudé Funeral Home for helping us develop and perfect this new service for Central Louisiana.
As Cenla Remembers grows, we will open the service to additional funeral homes throughout the region. Funeral homes that would like to take part in the testing phase can email us at CenlaRemembers@involvedinitall.com. Families and members of the general public will also be able to submit notices.
Notices submitted directly by the public will require official verification before publication. That safeguard will help us make sure the information we share is accurate and respectful to the families involved.
Our purpose is simple: to give Central Louisiana one more place to remember the people who were part of our communities and to help families share important service information with their neighbors.
We extend our condolences to every family represented in today’s Cenla Remembers.
