About Us
Welcome to Owens Memorial Chapel Funeral Home, a place where care, dignity, and respect are at the heart of what we do. For years, we have been a pillar in the community, offering a serene and compassionate environment for families to commemorate their loved ones.
Our Story
Owens Memorial Chapel opened in 1991 on the grounds of Forest Lawn Memorial Park. One of the owners of Forest Lawn, A.G. Owens Jr., and his son, Blain Owens, decided that a new funeral home was needed in Lincoln Parish. The father-son team owned and operated the funeral home for 25 years until A. G.'s death. Blain continues to own and operate the businesses with help from A. G.'s wife, B. J. and his two sons, Callen and Brendan. The funeral home gets its name from A.G. Owens Sr. and Emma Lou Owens, the founders of Forest Lawn Memorial Park, which opened in 1951. It stands as a memorial to them and the heritage that we have in this community. Each year, we experience an increase in the number of families that choose us for their loved ones' services. This success is due in part to the families that we have served in the past, telling of our superior services and our genuine concern for all.
Online Memorial
We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.
Tribute Video
We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or USB thumb drives of the video are also available.
Ordering Flowers
We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.
Sharing Service Details
We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or X page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.
