Section VII-990 - Fee Waivers
A. The secretary of the department may waive all or part of the fee charged under R.S. 29:295 or §992 of this Chapter for burying veterans, spouses or dependent children in Louisiana veterans' cemeteries if unusual financial circumstances or hardships exist. Family members who believe they have unusual financial circumstances or hardships may request relief and consideration of a waiver of the burial fee. Family members may apply for a waiver through the cemetery director. If no family members are available, the cemetery director may request a waiver on behalf of the deceased veteran, spouse or dependent child. The application must include appropriate documentation to support a finding that an unusual financial circumstance or hardship exists. If the cemetery director determines that the application and supporting documentation reflect that an unusual financial circumstance or hardship exists, then the director will forward the request with an appropriate recommendation to the secretary for approval or disapproval to waive the fee in whole or in part.
