Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home opened in 1979 as the first funeral home in New Orleans built directly on cemetery grounds. The facility sits at 5100 Pontchartrain Boulevard, sharing a location with Metairie Cemetery (established 1872) and Lake Lawn Park and Mausoleum (established 1949). This integrated setup allows families to handle funeral services, cremation, and burial arrangements without leaving the property.
The funeral home operates as part of the Dignity Memorial network and serves seven parishes across the New Orleans metro area: Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Tammany, and Tangipahoa. The staff cites more than 250 years of combined experience.
Metairie Cemetery itself holds National Register of Historic Places status (added 1991) and was named by Forbes in 2003 as one of the 10 Most Interesting Cemeteries in the World. The 127-acre property retains the oval racetrack footprint from its previous life as the Metairie Race Course.
