Fountain Memorial is a full-service funeral home and cemetery located in the heart of Lafayette, Louisiana. Soon after our cemetery opened in 1984, expansion began on an air-conditioned granite and marble mausoleum that is often used for small services. An atrium and three garden mausoleums have since been added.
Over time, a need for a funeral facility complete with chapel and parlors, became apparent and construction on that structure began. Fountain Memorial Funeral Home was completed in 2000 and is adjacent to the cemetery. Within our grounds are cemetery plots, mausoleum crypts and niches for cremains.

Life Choices
Report
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.
Why Plan Ahead
Report
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Pre-planning your funeral arrangements can also be beneficial.

Planning Insights
