Help us help vets with an individual contribution in your community. The best way to impact the vets around you is with hands-on assistance through your business, a veteran service organization, and in your community. You can also help our emergency aid initiative with a donation to the Military Family Assistance Fund.
LDVA operates five veterans cemeteries located across the state, offering a variety of burial options for veterans, spouses and dependent children. Each location features beautiful and spacious grounds, covered shelter for committal services and are open Monday through Friday for interments with visitation open daily.
Burial benefits may include the following:
LDVA Cemeteries can provide upright granite headstones, flat granite memorial markers and granite niche covers. Availability varies at each cemetery. Please contact your local office to discuss further.
Funding: LDVA Veterans Cemeteries are made possible with grants through the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which provide 100% funding for all aspects of initial planning and construction.
