About Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home & Cemeteries
Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home & Cemeteries is part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in the United States, which means pricing and practices are guided by a national company rather than local independent ownership. As a full-service provider, they offer burial, cremation, and pre-planning options, and their on-site cemetery, chapel, event center, and catering capabilities make them one of the more comprehensive facilities in the New Orleans area for families who want everything handled in one location. Pricing information was not available for this summary, so families should request an itemized General Price List directly from the funeral home and compare it against other local providers before making a decision, as corporate-owned homes can trend toward the higher end of the local market. Across 339 Google reviews, they hold a 4.6-star rating, with customers consistently highlighting compassionate and organized staff, smooth handling of paperwork, and the quality of the physical facilities — no significant patterns of complaint appeared in the available reviews.

8 months agoThank you for your kind and caring staff. We were well informed while our wants and needs were addressed without any issues. Luckily, we were blessed our parents had a burial policy thru Lakelawn and we were able to give mom the kind of funeral she deserved. Thank you for everything
★★★★★Stephen Beukema
9 months agoBeautiful, well managed cemetery. Received a wonderful impromptu tour from Mr. Jerry Schone. I am a local historian from upstate New York and Jerry just happened to run into us and he took time out of his busy schedule to show us several very interesting pieces of history. Thank you.
