Graveside Services in Acadiana

The simplicity of a graveside service is what lends it a certain elegance, making it a fitting tribute to honor a life lived. Here are some reasons families choose this type of service:

Intimacy and Privacy Graveside services tend to be smaller, more intimate gatherings that offer a private and personal setting for mourning and reflection. This can be especially meaningful for close-knit communities in Eunice and Crowley.
Connection with Nature The outdoor setting allows for a deeper connection with nature, providing a peaceful backdrop that fosters a sense of serenity and reflection.
Cost-Effective Option Without the need for extensive floral arrangements or elaborate venues, graveside services can also be a more cost-effective option for families, fitting within a wide range of budgets while maintaining dignity and respect.

At Colligan Crematory & Funeral Services, we take pride in offering personalized graveside services that reflect your loved one’s wishes and the family's needs. Our experienced team works closely with families in Maurice, Youngsville, and beyond, ensuring every detail is handled with care and compassion.
