Westlawn is a good example of a local cemetery keeping up with the times.

As you proceed and look to the right, you see the area decidated to the New Orleans style above ground family crypts. Closer to the back of the cemetery grounds, you come across the newer areas where the community mausoleums with crypt space for caskets, and cremation niches were built. They are actually quite pretty with the stained glass windows and all. Something for everyone.

Really nice Westbank cemetery.

Sigh. Okay. So, I really didn't know if this review was going to happen. In fact, it's been sitting…read morein my drafts for about three months now. I asked myself a lot of questions including, "Is there anything you WON'T review?" The answer, is "yes", but I feel like this place deserves my review because of how they treated one of the most difficult situations of my life. Recently, after a long illness, my mother passed away at 65. There were a lot of questions to be answered, not the least of which is what funeral home we should turn to in this trying time. For various reasons, we decided on Westside Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home for my mother's services. Now, a lot of people might just think that a funeral home is a funeral home, and I guess to a certain extent this is true. When it comes down to something like this, you are reviewing the people who you dealt with in your time of need. Westside Leitz-Eagan is lovely. My mother's services took place in a small chapel with the greatest of care. We wanted special changes made to the Mass, and they were happy to be accommodating. Mr. Joe was the funeral director and he was so wonderful and kind. He made sure that all of our needs were met and that everything was to our liking. The priest who did my mother's Mass was Father Finn and my mother would have just loved that he was from Ireland, since she was of Irish lineage herself. After the funeral we all traveled across the river to my mother's resting place where Father Finn said a nice prayer and gave us the time we needed to say farewell. Everyone was so kind throughout the entire process and I couldn't have asked for anything more. I know that my mother would have been so happy with the way that everything was conducted. I am completely recommending Westside Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home for your funerial needs. My experience with them was as wonderful as a situation like this can be and everyone was beyond kind and understanding.

Don't be confused, there is a Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, but that is CLOSED, and is located in the Garden District (near Commander's Palace restaurant). You will need to be in a tour to enter, but I did it on the cheap. If you walk the perimeter, you can view the grounds from the iron gates built into the block walls. I stuck my phone in and took some nice photos. At the entrance, I peeked in and was able to see the Nicholas Cage pyramid crypt.
