re: Does louisiana have a law on who gets to make funeral arrangements?

I don't fricking know!

A friend of mine from college passed away earlier this year and his family was from State Line, MS. I went to the wake but not the funeral, and thank goodness I didn't because I would have been really upset about where they buried him...his mom's backyard! Several of his paul bearers were also friends of mine and they were pretty disturbed about it. Said they had to carry his casket across a drainage ditch to get to the backyard.
