The Forest Park Funeral Home started out as Wellman Funeral Home in 1896. The original building was located across the street. In 1975, the owners of Wellman Funeral Home decided to build the larger, current facility. For many years the funeral home was owned by a couple different corporations. In 2001, Robert ""Bob"" Lomison purchased the building along with nearby Forest Park cemeteries. With the purchase, Bob brought back the family-owned status and changed the name to Forest Park Funeral Home. Today, the funeral facility continues to serve the Shreveport community with dignified memorials, personalized options, and excellent service.
