OUR TOP PRIORITY IS TO OUR FAMILIES AND OUR COMMUNITY.  WE ARE HERE FOR YOU, AS WE HAVE BEEN FOR 80 YEARS.

Honaker Funeral Home, Forest Lawn Cemetery, and our onsite Crematory is located in Slidell, Louisiana. Our family has been serving East St. Tammany Parish since 1937 with both care and dignity.

PLAN AHEAD                                                                            

We understand that making the many decisions which come at a time of loss can be difficult. We’ll take the first step with you!

Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance.

Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.

Please call us at 985-641-1900 to set up an appointment to discuss pre-planning with a caring professional.

Military Funeral Honors
The rendering of Military Funeral Honors is a way to show the Nation's deep gratitude to those who, in times of war and peace, have faithfully defended our country.  This ceremonial paying of respect is the final demonstration a grateful Nation can provide to a veterans' family.

Flags
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn.  Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.

Headstones and Markers
The Department of Veterans Affairs furnishes upon request, at no charge, a headstone or marker.   Flat markers and upright headstones are available as well as niche markers for Columbaria.  Alternatively, a medallion which can be affixed to a privately purchased headstone is available.

Presidential Memorial Certificates
Families can also receive the Presidential Memorial Certificate (PMC) signed by the current President, to honor the memory of honorably discharged deceased Veterans.

Learning about grief and mourning can help you survive and eventually heal.
