I am having trouble locating the actual laws concerning Louisiana funerals, caskets and burials. Any information anyone could enlighten me with would be greatly appreciated. I am 40 years old, in college with a 4.0gpa and am currently writing a paper on Funeral laws. I am an advocate of caring for our deceased in appropriate and caring ways, including home funerals and green burials (which I am trying to plan for myself). I would personally appreciate being buried straight into the earth and am trying to find laws which support my wishes for that cause, so that I can leave my loved ones with a secure footing on which to follow out my wishes. It is my hope that others may find some help in my research as well. Peace, Christy
