Ask for the current GPL
Request the General Price List for the Hixson Brothers location handling the arrangements.
Separate funeral-home charges
Ask about basic services, transfer, embalming, viewing, facilities, staff, hearse and service vehicle charges.
Separate merchandise
Ask about caskets, urns, vaults, printed materials, keepsakes and memorial items.
Separate outside costs
Cemetery, clergy, newspaper, flowers, musicians and certified death certificates may be outside or cash-advance items.
Useful phone script
“Can you provide your current General Price List and separate Hixson Brothers charges from cemetery, clergy, obituary, death-certificate and other third-party charges for the services we are considering?”
Louisiana Death Certificates After a Hixson Brothers Funeral
A funeral-home obituary is not a certified death certificate. Louisiana death certificates are handled through the Louisiana Department of Health Vital Records system or authorized certificate routes. Use the place of death to choose the correct records path.
| Task | Official route | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Louisiana death certificate | Louisiana Department of Health Vital Records | Use the current LDH death-record instructions and eligibility rules. |
| Fee check | LDH vital-records service fees | LDH service-fee guidance lists clerk-of-court issued death certificates at $26 per copy. Check the current fee page before ordering. |
| Older Louisiana death records | Louisiana State Archives / Secretary of State | Use the Louisiana Vital Records Index for older historical death records, not for current family-service copies. |
| Death outside Louisiana | The state where the death occurred | If a Central Louisiana resident died in another state, that state’s vital-records office may control the certificate. |

Louisiana Succession / Estate Tasks
Funeral arrangements and Louisiana succession are separate. An obituary announces a death and service information, but it does not give someone legal authority to handle property, bank accounts or succession filings.
Rapides Parish
Alexandria and Pineville matters often point first to the Rapides Parish Clerk of Court when succession records or court filings are needed.
LaSalle Parish
Jena matters may involve the LaSalle Parish Clerk of Court for probate/succession records and filings.
Avoyelles Parish
Marksville matters may involve the Avoyelles Parish Clerk of Court for civil/probate/succession filings.
Bring documents
Certified death certificate, original will if any, heir information, property records and debt/asset details may be needed.
- Find the original will if one exists.
- Order certified death certificates.
- Identify the deceased person’s legal domicile at death.
- Identify the parish connected to real property or succession filings.
- Ask the proper Clerk of Court or an attorney what Louisiana succession route applies.
Rapides Parish Clerk of Court · LaSalle Parish Clerk of Court · Avoyelles Parish Clerk of Court
Social Security and Veteran Benefits
Social Security
Ask whether the funeral director reports the death to Social Security. Eligible survivors may still need to contact SSA for survivor-benefit questions.
Veteran family
VA burial and memorial benefits may include national-cemetery eligibility, burial allowance, headstone or marker, burial flag and related memorial benefits when requirements are met.
