How to submit a cemetery report
If you have found a cemetery that is NOT listed with the Louisiana
Cemetery Board as an ACTIVE cemetery and that contains graves 50 years
of age or older, and is unkept, abandoned or neglected or otherwise
UNKNOWN, a report should be filed with the Regional Louisiana Dept. of
Archaeology, the Louisiana Attorney General, and the local Sheriffs
office. You may find a list of contacts here. Recent updates to Louisiana
cemetery law require reporting within 72 hours.
If the cemetery is ACTIVE and is accepting burials, then it falls under the
jurisdiction of the Louisiana Cemetery Board. The Louisiana Cemetery Board can
be contacted online, in addition to the local police, Sheriff, and Louisiana
Attorney Generals office.
The online form for submission through Louisiana Cemetery Preservation website
can be found here or you may send an email to
