Search Obituary, Death and Burial Records by Name
Enter the person’s first name, last name and last known state to prepare an obituary, death, burial, cemetery, memorial and related public-record search.
Find Journet & Bolden Notices and Verify the Service
Search recent Journet & Bolden Funeral Home obituaries through the official New Iberia listing, then confirm the correct person and every public event.
Use this guide to separate Louisiana and Maryland results, understand rosary and interment wording, save the right addresses and use official record or payment routes.
Official sources reviewed July 15, 2026: Journet & Bolden obituary, facility and contact pages; Bolden-Tilghman’s Maryland listings; Iberia Parish Clerk of Court; Louisiana Vital Records; the FTC; the VA; and live RecentObituaries.info internal guides.
Start With the Source That Matches Your Task
A Bolden name search can lead to two different states. Confirm the city before opening an obituary, getting directions, calling or sending money.
Independent source guide: this article does not host a live obituary feed and does not represent either funeral home.
Journet & Bolden and Bolden-Tilghman Are Not the Same
| Provider | Location clues | Telephone clue | Use this source when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Journet & Bolden Funeral Home | New Iberia, Iberia Parish, Jeanerette, Loreauville and surrounding Louisiana communities | 337 area code | The notice or service is connected with South Louisiana. |
| Bolden-Tilghman Mortuary Service | Easton, Federalsburg, Hurlock, Cambridge and Maryland’s Eastern Shore | 443 area code | The notice or service is connected with Maryland. |
For Louisiana searches, use the official Journet & Bolden process explained below.
For Maryland searches only, open the official Bolden-Tilghman obituary listings.
Screenshot identification trick: when someone sends only an obituary screenshot, look for the area code, church, cemetery, parish or county before searching the name.
How to Find Recent Journet & Bolden Obituaries
The official page provides a search box, a Show All/Browse Obituaries route and individual memorial pages. Use the first-party listing before copied notices, social posts or flower advertisements.
Open the Official Obituary Page
Start with the funeral home’s current list rather than an old individual obituary indexed by a search engine.
Search the Surname First
A surname-only search can find notices published with a nickname, middle name, maiden name, suffix or different first-name spelling.
Use Show All When Search Fails
Browse the recent list manually when punctuation, spacing or an abbreviation may be preventing a match.
Add One Strong Local Clue
Try a spouse, church, cemetery, parish, employer, school or nearby city. Avoid adding several uncertain details at once.
Open the Individual Memorial
Compare relatives, residence, age, funeral venue, officiant, cemetery and dates before relying on the result.
Recheck Before Travel or Payment
Open the live memorial again before same-day travel, flowers, guestbook use, donations or sharing an event time.
After reviewing the method, open the official Journet & Bolden recent obituary page.
Search Variations That Often Help
Last name only
Full name + spouse or church
St Julien / St. Julien / St Julian
Name + cemetery or parish
Local Place Clues to Try
A notice may connect the person with New Iberia, Jeanerette, Loreauville, Delcambre, Lydia, Cade, Coteau, Avery Island, St. Martinville, Broussard or Lafayette.
Insider search technique: remove apostrophes, periods or hyphens for one search, then restore them. Older obituary systems do not always handle punctuation consistently.
Never match by name alone. Compare at least three clues such as relatives, residence, age, church, cemetery or funeral date before sharing a death notice.
What the Individual Obituary Page Can Show
The full memorial is more useful than the obituary-list preview. Available features vary by notice and family preference.
| Feature | How it helps | Important caution |
|---|---|---|
| Obituary text | Helps match relatives, city, age, church, employer and community details. | Sensitive details should not be copied into unrelated public posts. |
| Services block | May separate visitation, funeral service and other public events. | Interment may appear only in the obituary text. |
| Directions | Links an address with a specific service event. | The church and cemetery may use different addresses. |
| Send flowers or card | Connects the action with the correct memorial. | Check whether the family requested donations instead. |
| Guestbook | Allows condolences when the option is enabled. | Messages may be public unless a private option is selected and honored. |
| Print obituary | Creates a simpler reference copy. | A printed copy will not reflect later online changes. |
Guestbook privacy option: some Journet & Bolden memorials display a “Please keep my message private” choice. Review the setting before submitting, and never include financial, medical or identity information.
Email List Versus Service Confirmation
The official obituary page includes a “Join Our Email List” option. Treat this as a funeral-home mailing list—not a guaranteed instant alert for every service change.
- Save the individual obituary URL.
- Reopen the memorial before travelling.
- Call when the service is today, tomorrow or incomplete.
- Do not rely only on an email, screenshot or search snippet.
Understand Rosary, Visitation, Funeral and Interment Details
Journet & Bolden notices may list several events on the same day. Each event can use a different time or location.
| Wording | What it usually means | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Visitation until time of service | Visitation ends shortly before or when the funeral begins. | Whether the service remains at the same venue. |
| Rosary will be recited | A scheduled Catholic prayer period is included. | Time, public access and whether it is at the funeral home or church. |
| Interment will follow | Burial occurs after the funeral, often without a separate exact time. | Cemetery address and whether visitors may join the procession. |
| Private interment | Burial details may be limited to invited family. | Do not request or share a private cemetery schedule. |
| Repose at the church | The person is present at the church before the funeral. | Arrival time and whether this replaces funeral-home viewing. |
The Four-Address Rule
- Save the funeral-home or visitation address.
- Save the church or funeral-service address.
- Save the cemetery or interment address.
- Save the reception or repast address when publicly listed.
- Label every address with its event name.
Local travel tip: cemetery names may repeat across parishes or use a church name. Save the complete cemetery name, road and city instead of entering only the cemetery name into navigation.
Confirm Central Time
New Iberia uses Central Time. Visitors travelling from another time zone should verify that a calendar or phone has not converted the service time unexpectedly.
Complete Service-Confirmation Script
“Hello, I am checking the public arrangements for [full name]. The memorial shows [visitation, rosary or funeral] on [date] at [time]. Can you confirm Central Time, the exact venue, whether the event is public, the cemetery location and whether anything has changed?”
What to Know When the Service Is at the Funeral Home
The official location page describes two chapels, accessibility and off-street parking. These details help visitors plan, but they do not prove that a particular service is being held there.
Main Chapel
The funeral home states that its main chapel seats approximately 350 people and includes a Hammond organ and Baldwin piano.
Secondary Chapel
The facility page states that the second chapel seats approximately 225 guests and offers similar musical accommodations.
Access and Parking
The location is described as handicapped accessible with ample off-street parking.
Capacity is not an invitation. Always confirm whether a viewing, service or burial is public, private or family-only.
Review the official Journet & Bolden facility page when accessibility or on-site arrangements matter.

Map limitation: this map points to the funeral home. Use the individual memorial for the actual church, cemetery or reception address.
What to Do When the Obituary Does Not Appear
A missing notice can mean the search wording is wrong, the obituary has not been posted, another funeral home is involved or the family chose limited public information.
-
1
Search surname only. Remove an uncertain first name, middle initial, nickname or city.
-
2
Try punctuation-free variants. Remove apostrophes, periods and hyphens for one search.
-
3
Use Show All or Browse. Scan the current list when the search box may not recognize the spelling.
-
4
Add one family or local clue. Try a spouse, church, cemetery, parish or nearby city.
-
5
Check a broader New Iberia index. Use a secondary obituary index only after checking the funeral home’s page.
-
6
Use vital records only for legal proof. A certificate search is not a substitute for a family’s decision not to publish an obituary.
When the official page is difficult to search, use the Journet & Bolden Legacy listing as a secondary index.
Respect a private arrangement. Not every death has a public obituary, guestbook, cause-of-death statement, livestream or open service.
Use Memorial Actions Without Exposing Private Information
Before Sending Flowers
- Confirm the correct person and service date.
- Check the delivery destination.
- Respect “in lieu of flowers” instructions.
- Verify the delivery deadline.
- Save the florist receipt.
Before Signing the Guestbook
- Assume the message may become public.
- Do not post phone numbers or home addresses.
- Do not publish medical or financial information.
- Do not discuss family disputes.
- Do not state an unconfirmed cause of death.
Payment warning: do not send money through a copied obituary, social-media comment, unexpected text message or page claiming payment is required to view a memorial or livestream.
Prepare Useful Information Before Contacting the Funeral Home
Families do not need every document before making the first call. Begin with immediate care information, then gather records and preferences for the arrangement meeting.
Information for the First Call
- Full legal name of the person who died
- Current location of the person
- Date and approximate time of death
- Hospital, hospice, care facility or coroner contact when applicable
- Your name, relationship and callback number
- Known burial, cremation or preplanning wishes
Items Often Helpful for the Arrangement Meeting
- Legal name, date of birth and place of birth
- Parents’ names, including mother’s maiden name
- Spouse and next-of-kin information
- Education, occupation, church and military details
- DD Form 214 when the person was a veteran
- Cemetery property or pre-need documents
- Photograph and family-approved obituary notes
- Clergy, music, rosary and service preferences
Protect identity information. Provide Social Security and government-ID details only through a private funeral-home arrangement or official government form—not a public guestbook or obituary comment.
Ask for Clear, Itemized Funeral Prices
Funeral providers must give price information by telephone when asked. During an in-person arrangement conference, consumers must receive a General Price List they may keep.
Questions Worth Asking
- What is included in the basic services fee?
- What do transfer, mileage and after-hours removal cost?
- What are the prices for direct cremation and immediate burial?
- What do viewing, chapel, church and graveside staff services cost?
- Are obituary, flowers, clergy or cemetery charges cash-advance items?
- Can the family use an outside casket or urn?
- Will every selection appear on an itemized statement?
Read the official FTC Funeral Rule before approving unclear or expensive arrangements.
The FTC’s funeral-cost checklist helps separate provider fees, optional merchandise and outside cash-advance costs.
Card-logo limitation: the funeral-home facility page currently displays major credit-card logos, but families should confirm the accepted payment method, account and amount before paying.
Locate Military Records Before Benefits Are Needed
- DD Form 214 or another discharge document
- Veteran’s full legal name and service information
- Certified death certificate when required
- Claimant or relationship information
- Funeral, cemetery and transportation receipts
- Existing pre-need eligibility decision
Use the official VA burial and memorial benefits page for current eligibility, cemetery, allowance, flag and marker guidance.
Do not assume the VA pays the complete funeral bill. Benefits depend on eligibility, burial type and the current claim rules.
Report a Wrong Name, Date or Service Address
Copy the Individual Memorial URL
Send the exact obituary page rather than only the funeral-home homepage.
Quote the Incorrect Wording
Identify the exact name, date, time, address or sentence that requires review.
Provide Approved Replacement Text
Confirm the correction with the family representative authorized to request the change.
Call for Time-Sensitive Errors
Telephone 337-369-3638 when visitors may travel to the wrong service or cemetery.
Reopen the Official Page
Search snippets and printed copies may continue showing old information after the live memorial changes.
Correction Script
“I am calling about the public memorial for [full name]. The page currently says [incorrect wording]. The family-approved replacement is [correct wording]. The service is on [date]. What is the safest way to confirm this update?”
Separate systems: correcting an online obituary does not amend a Louisiana death certificate.
Use a Death Certificate When an Obituary Is Not Legal Proof
Louisiana death records remain confidential until 50 years after the year of death. Eligible requesters need an authorized parish or state route, identification and the required application information.
| Document | Best use | Certified legal record? |
|---|---|---|
| Journet & Bolden obituary | Public memorial and service details | No |
| Funeral-home statement | Arrangement or service confirmation | Not the state certificate |
| Louisiana death certificate | Estate, insurance, bank, pension and government tasks | Yes, when officially issued |
New Iberia In-Person Route
The Iberia Parish Clerk of Court issues eligible certified death certificates in person for deaths occurring after July 9, 2012.

Call-Before-Visit Script
“I need a certified death certificate for a Louisiana death. Can you confirm that the record is available through your office, my eligibility, the identification I should bring, the current cash fee and the certificate-issuance hours?”
Louisiana State Mail and Online Routes
The Louisiana state mail application currently lists death certificates at $7 per copy. LDH also states that a $0.50 state charge applies to each mail or VitalChek order.
The state ordering page advises allowing approximately eight to ten weeks for mail delivery. Online, telephone and fax orders use Louisiana’s authorized vendor and may include additional service or shipping fees.
Prepare These Details
- Full legal name of the deceased
- Date and place of death
- Your relationship or legal authority
- Acceptable photo identification
- Number of certified copies needed
- Current mailing address and telephone number
- Signed application and correct payment
Read the Louisiana death-record ordering instructions before choosing mail, telephone or online ordering.
Use the official Louisiana birth/death certificate application PDF for the current application fields and identification instructions.
Check the current Louisiana Vital Records fee page before paying because fees differ by request route.
Correcting the Certified Record
Death-certificate changes depend on the type of error and how recently the record was filed. Use Louisiana’s official death-record amendment guidance rather than assuming an obituary correction updates the certificate.
Keep certificates secure. They contain sensitive identity information and should be shared only with institutions that require them.
Before Travel, Flowers, Payment or Sharing
- Confirm Louisiana versus Maryland first.
- Use the official funeral-home obituary page.
- Match at least three identity clues.
- Confirm Central Time.
- Save visitation, church, cemetery and reception addresses separately.
- Reopen the memorial before same-day travel.
- Use only first-party flower, guestbook and payment routes.
- Call when service information conflicts or remains incomplete.
- Use Iberia Parish or Louisiana Vital Records for certified proof.
- Keep family and certificate information private.
