Ourso Funeral Home

Ourso Funeral Home, located at 31885 Highway 1 in White Castle, Louisiana, is a family-operated funeral home that has been serving Iberville Parish and surrounding communities since 1939. Founded by Sidney Ourso Sr. in Donaldsonville, the business began as Landry-Ourso Funeral Home in partnership with Milburn Landry. After Mr. Landry's passing, the partnership dissolved, and the firm became Ourso Funeral Home Inc., later expanding to include locations in Gonzales, Pierre Part, and White Castle. Deeply rooted in Louisiana, many of its funeral directors and support staff are local natives, ensuring a personal understanding of the community's traditions and needs. The home offers a full range of funeral and cremation services with a commitment to compassionate, one-on-one care. Services include traditional funerals, cremations, and personalized memorial celebrations that honor the life, memories, and passions of the deceased. Families are encouraged to share stories and ideas to create lasting tributes. The home also provides pre-planning options, allowing individuals to arrange their own services in advance, relieving family members of burden, locking in costs, and ensuring final wishes are met. Prepaid plans offer up to 10% savings and lifetime flexibility, including transferability to other Dignity Memorial providers in North America. Onsite services are available, and the facility features a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking, free on-site parking, and an onsite chapel. Payment options include a prepayment plan. In addition to burial and cremation offerings, the home can coordinate catered events for families to gather and share time together. Ourso Funeral Home is part of the Dignity Memorial network, which provides a 100% service guarantee, 24/7 availability with a real person on the phone, and access to a large network of trusted providers. The team assists with death certificates, burial permits, insurance claims, and Social Security survivors benefits. Price lists for funeral and cremation services, burial and cremation merchandise, and packages are available. The home also offers a free personal planning guide and grief resources. Recent obituaries and a subscription for notifications are accessible online. With over 80 years of service, Ourso Funeral Home remains dedicated to providing high-quality, respectful care to White Castle and the surrounding area, continuing a legacy of excellence and community support.
