FUNERAL
since 1883. For over 100
years, Charbonnet has provided the people of New Orleans with burials, cremations and limousine services,
as well as weddings and insurance. The addition of the
second site will allow the funeral home to provide these
much needed services to St.
Bernard.
Louis Charbonnet, owner, recognized the need for
another funeral home in St.
Bernard a while back, he said.
“We’ve been looking at
the need for another funeral
home since Katrina,” said
Charbonnet, adding, “There’s
only one other funeral home
and we’re offering a different
choice.”
Members of the local
church community, including pastors, priests and ministers from churches around
the Parish, were there to
show support as members of
the Chamber of Commerce
officially opened the business
to the public.
Charbonnet Family Services will provide residents
with a new option with competitive prices and facilities, said Charbonnet. “It’s a
welcome addition to the local business community of
St. Bernard. We’re a familyowned business. We want to
bring the same services we
have been bringing to the
people of New Orleans for
over 132 years to the people
of St. Bernard,” he said.
Charbonnet encourages
residents to come to the new
location at 4917 E. Judge Per-
ez Dr. in Violet to compare
their facilities and prices, he
said.

Historic Marker Dedication
Held at De La Ronde Ruins
Officials from St. Bernard Parish
Government, Chalmette Refining and
the Daughters of the British Empire
gathered on the site of the former De
La Ronde Plantation to dedicate the
newest historic marker in St. Bernard.
“I appreciate the hard work members of my administration have invested in this project making these
markers a reality,” said Parish President David Peralta. “Our historian Bill
Hyland wrote the text of the marker,
Michael Bayham worked on identifying the key locations and our tourist
director Katherine Tommaseo did a
fantastic job putting the funds together to get it done prior to the upcoming
bicentennial of the Battle of New Orleans,” said Peralta.
Tommaseo spearheaded the successful fundraising drive to raise the
money for five new historic markers
across St. Bernard that provide information about important events that
took place during the Battle of New
Orleans. Chalmette Refining, LLC was
the sponsor for the new De La Ronde
Plantation historic marker.
“This was a wonderful event and
I am glad we are doing more to commemorate all of the parties that were
involved in one of the most important
battles in American history and the
military engagement that changed for
the better relations between the United States and the United Kingdom,”
said Jane Caruso of the Daughters of
the British Empire. “The De La Ronde
ruins has a special place for the British as it served as a field hospital during the Battle of New Orleans, and it
was where the bodies of both General
Edward Pakenham and General Samuel Gibbs were taken after they were
killed in the Battle of New Orleans.”
Honorary British Consul to New
Orleans James Coleman spoke at the
dedication, and the event concluded
with bagpipe music and a reception
at Rocky & Carlo’s. The Daughters of
the British Empire will hold a commemoration event at the De La Ronde
Plantation ruins in honor of the British fallen during the Battle of New Orleans on the morning of Jan. 9 as part
of the state’s Battle of New Orleans
Bicentennial events.

Members of Operation Merry
Christmas presented a check to
the Knights of Columbus Council #5747 for $8,750 to support

distribution that was started by
Operation Merry Christmas in
1985 and the Knights of Columbus has continued the tradition
after Hurricane Katrina.

Columbus #5747 to gear up rapidly for this year’s Christmas Gift
give-away known as A Knight’s
Gift. With the support of Operation Merry Christmas, this year’s
event will be bigger than ever.”
He further commented that
his members stated, “We’re lit
up and ready to put a smile on
all children’s faces regardless of

toy.

the Knights of Columbus Organization is continuing to fulfill
our mission that was initiated in

and if it does indeed emerge,
it is likely to be weak. Even if
