Louisiana Cemetery Board

very large stone tombs topped with angelsIn 1974, Act 417 of the Louisiana Legislature created the Louisiana Cemetery Board. This Act now constitutes Title 8 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, consisting of Chapters 1 through 13, both inclusive and Sections 1 through 906, both inclusive. 

The Board's website contains a searchable database of cemeteries, Attorney General opinions concerning cemetery matters, and statutes and regulations on cemeteries. The website also instructions for consumers who may wish to file a complaint. It is a wonderful resource.Moorish looking tomb topped with crosses
