Magnolia Funeral Home

Magnolia Funeral Home, located at 620 East Bryant Road in Center Point, Louisiana, is a family-owned funeral home that has served Avoyelles Parish and the surrounding central Louisiana communities since its founding in September 1999. Established by Coy and Deanna Gremillion, the funeral home combines decades of business expertise with a deep commitment to compassionate care. Coy Gremillion is a graduate of the American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Service and became a licensed embalmer in 2008. Deanna Gremillion completed her funeral director internship under the guidance of A. W. "Nicky" Middleton and retired embalmer Jamie Lusk. Their hands-on leadership ensures that every family receives personal attention and dignified service during a difficult time.

A distinguishing feature of Magnolia Funeral Home is its on-site crematory, Alexandria Crematory, which the Gremillion family opened in 2005 as central Louisiana's first crematory. Owned and operated exclusively for funeral home use, this facility allows the staff to handle cremation services directly rather than transferring remains to third-party providers. This direct oversight gives families added peace of mind and often allows for more affordable pricing. The funeral home offers both traditional burial and cremation options, with an emphasis on value and transparency. According to available pricing information, services range from a direct cremation starting at $995 to a traditional full-service burial at $6,295, with full-service cremation at $4,030 and an affordable burial option at $3,920.

The facility includes an on-site chapel where visitations and memorial services are held, and it is designed to be accessible to all: the property features a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot, with convenient on-site parking. The funeral home maintains a strong local presence, serving Center Point as well as nearby communities such as Alexandria, Ball, Cottonport, Fifth Ward, Mansura, Marksville, Moreauville, and Pineville. Contact can be made by phone at (318) 487-1197 or by email at magnoliafh@gmail.com. The business has earned a perfect 5-star rating from its limited reviews, reflecting its dedication to quality service. Magnolia Funeral Home continues to be a trusted resource for families seeking respectful, affordable funeral and cremation services in central Louisiana, with over 25 years of experience.
