DeRidder, Louisiana is known for it’s glorious history and contains a collection of historical buildings including the Beauregard Parish Courthouse and the Beauregard Museum. “But the town’s trademark is the renowned Gothic revival building known as the “Hanging Jail.” There, at the top of a spiral staircase, in view of the other prisoners’ jail cells, the condemned would meet their demise in spectacular fashion.”

DeRidder, LA was hit hard by the hurricanes of 2020. The local community has been working diligently to repair stones in the surrounding cemeteries. Some of the damage has been taken care of, however the smaller, outlying cemeteries in the parish (county) still have damaged stones.
We’re excited to get in to repair and revive Beauregard Cemetery!
