Our story
From the very beginning, Labby Memorial had a vision to provide the families of Beauregard and Vernon Parishes with a funeral home that was founded on trust, honesty and compassion. Over the years a great number of families have trusted us to do just that, and we are still bound by that same mission today. Our staff is made up of a team with servant hearts who strive to stand on trust, honesty and compassion, while understanding that each family is unique and providing dignified funeral services to every family that we are honored to serve.
If you have questions or just want to stop by and visit, please know that you are welcome any time. We would love to visit with you and answer any questions you may have. You can contact us at (337) 463-7428 (DeRidder), (337) 238-1358 (Leesville). We are always available to serve you in your time of need.
