The death of a loved one is a very difficult time and currently even more difficult with the COVID-19. It has been a challenge planning and conducting funerals as of late. There has been an executive order put in place by Governor John Bel Edwards which place restrictions on gatherings and businesses. These measures have been put in place to limit and/or prevent the spread of COVID-19. It is imperative that we follow this order. I am committed to continuing to provide funeral services with dignity and honor to bereaved families. Should you have any questions or concerns as to how we are handling funerals with these restrictions please contact me at (225) 383-8891 or email: jrose@dessellefuneralhome.com

Louisiana Law Enforcement Statement on COVID-19 Emergency Proclamation Restrictions
March 17, 2020
Louisiana State Law (RS 29:724) gives the Governor authority to set restrictions on gatherings and businesses in the interest of public safety and to prevent spread of COVID-19. These proclamations and declarations have the power of law.
As such, local, parish, and state law enforcement agencies as well as other state authorities including ATC and the State Fire Marshal, will be acting to enforce these rules set by the Governor.
Violations of gathering capacity and business hour restrictions may result in revocation of licenses and/or citations for violating the executive order under La. R.S. 29:724(E), Disturbing the Peace, or other appropriate violations of law.
For more information, contact your local law enforcement agency and/or agency media contact.
