We use Mothe Funeral Home Marrero location for our needs. They are so very caring and attentive. Our last time we needed to use them was a slightly complicated situation. Kirk and the staff helped every step of the way. They explained things and helped make things so much easier. I would recommend 100%.

The process of planning my fathers funeral was easy with no pressure. I received many compliments about the services and mass. The vocalist Mothe provided was awesome! I was asked several times about how I found him and I had to say it was all the choice of the funeral home. Everything from planning to the final interment of my father was done very professional. Thank you Nicole and everyone else who helped with the service.
