Centuries Memorial Funeral Home

Centuries Memorial Funeral Home & Park, located at 8801 Mansfield Road in Shreveport, Louisiana, has been a trusted pillar of the Ark-La-Tex community since the 1940s. As a member of the Dignity Memorial network, this funeral home and cemetery work seamlessly together to provide comprehensive end-of-life services, treating every family with the warmth and respect of extended family, regardless of background, religion, culture, or beliefs. The funeral home itself is designed for comfort and personalization. Its large visitation room, capable of hosting up to 100 guests, features vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, contemporary furniture, and flat-screen televisions for video memorials, with bookshelves to display photographs and keepsakes. A smaller, more intimate visitation room and a multipurpose area for catered events are also available. The on-site chapel seats 190 people and offers a quiet, peaceful ambiance for services.

The team at Centuries is dedicated to creating uniquely personalized tributes that reflect each loved one's passions and personality. Whether incorporating hunting gear, displaying favorite memorabilia, or catering Louisiana cuisine such as etouffee and jambalaya, the staff listens carefully to every request. In 2016, they were among the first Dignity Memorial providers to pilot the interactive Remember When technology, allowing family and friends to share photos and comments in real time during visitations, with a bound keepsake book created afterward. Services include traditional burial, cremation, and memorialization, with pricing available for various packages. The funeral home also offers pre-planning options, including low-interest payment plans and a 100% service guarantee, ensuring peace of mind for families.

Centuries Memorial Park, situated on more than 80 immaculately groomed acres, has served as a peaceful final resting place since the 1940s. The cemetery features beautiful gardens with a three-tiered fountain, a veteran's field of honor with American flags, the American Heritage garden with a soaring eagle statue, and a gazebo for services. Burial options include traditional in-ground interment, family estates, mausoleum entombment, and cremation niches. A historic three-story stone bell tower, built in the 1930s, houses 200 glass-front niches that can be personalized with keepsakes, and its bells ring every half-hour throughout the park. The cemetery also participates in the Dignity Memorial Homeless Veterans Burial Program to honor those who served. With roughly half of its acreage still undeveloped, Centuries Memorial Park continues to grow, ensuring it will serve Shreveport families for generations to come. The funeral home is centrally located at the intersection of Mansfield Road and LA 3132, serving Caddo, Bossier, and DeSoto parishes, as well as Bossier City and the surrounding areas, and is available 24/7 by phone or in person.
