St Bernard Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home

It is our promise to customize a celebration of life that is special, meaningful and personalized. Like most people of Louisiana, we experienced tremendous damage and devastation during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Though our West Virtue Street building opened in 1997, it underwent a complete rebuild following the natural disaster. We reopened our beautiful new facility in 2007. St. Bernard Memorial Funeral Home feels comfortable and warm, with an abundance of natural light, calming colors and updated decor. The hallmark of our funeral home building is a magnificent stained-glass window of a magnolia (the Louisiana state flower) situated directly behind our chapel altar. This intricately designed centerpiece survived Hurricane Katrina and provides a beautiful backdrop for our 200-seat chapel. Our facility features 2 gathering spaces. The smaller lounge is a more intimate area, comfortably accommodating 30 guests. The larger Magnolia Room can be reserved and customized for catered events with up to 75 guests.
