Riser Funeral Homes was established in 1934 when Monor Riser and his wife Ruby (Upshaw) Riser relocated from the Ruston area to Columbia. Mr. Riser, a former schoolteacher in Lincoln Parish, opened the funeral home after learning that Caldwell Parish needed a funeral facility for its residents. Ruby Riser also operated the Riser Flower Shop in conjunction with the funeral home.
In 1974, H. Neil Riser Sr. and his wife Lillian Gore Riser built the current 6,000-square-foot facility. Following Neil Riser Sr.'s death in 1985, Neil Riser Jr. joined the staff and continued operations with Douglas M. "Buzzy" May until May's death in 2009. Vicki Smith Riser, wife of Neil Riser Jr., now serves as a funeral director and office manager.
The family-owned business operates two locations serving Caldwell Parish and surrounding communities, with facilities in both Columbia and Olla. The funeral home provides traditional burial services, cremation with multiple service options, veterans honors, and advance planning programs.
