If you are using this form prior to a loved one passing away, you will select the Pre-Need button. This will allow you to only fill out the parts of the application needed to determine eligibility. This is not a requirement for burial in our cemetery but you can do this in advance of passing if you are unsure of your eligibility for burial in a Louisiana state veterans cemetery.<\/p>

  • Veteran and Military Service Information<\/strong> \u2013 This is information about the veteran only. You do not have to be retired from military service to be eligible but the question helps us to verify we have all of the information we need about the veteran\u2019s service. There is a place to mark any additional information you think we may need in order to determine eligibility.<\/li>

    If someone has passed away and they have been or are in the process of being cremated, the person arranging the burial would complete this form by selecting the Burial button. The first section is all about the person who has passed away. If they are the veteran, when you select the veteran button their basic information will copy to the veteran information section. If the person who passed away is the dependent then you will need to complete the veteran section in full.<\/p>
