Donaldsonville funeral home founded in 1944 as Brazier Funeral Service. The founder passed it to his longtime manager, whose daughter, a licensed funeral director and embalmer, runs it today in the same location.

Donaldsonville funeral home started in 1958 by a father and his son, now owned and directed by the founding son's widow.

Donaldsonville funeral home the Ourso family has run since 1939, the first of its four homes with Gonzales, Pierre Part and White Castle. Its recently renovated building is the only one in the area that can hold a reception or event inside, and it offers catering for gatherings.
