About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This new National Cemetery was dedicated by Governor John Bel Ewards on March 6, 2020. Plans for this new cemetery began early in 2016 with the ground breaking ceremonial held on November 5, 2018 at 2 p. m. This is the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs (LDVA) fifth and final cemetery. Serving all of southwest Louisiana from the Texas border to the Atchafalaya basin up to Leesville, 80 miles (129 kilometers) from Jennings.

It is located on Evangeline Road, adjacent to the Southwest Louisiana Veterans Home in Jennings, LA. The cemetery has it own separate entrance and exit from the SWLVH and is visible from Interstate 10 just east of Exit 64.

Plans include over 300 columbarium niches for cremated remains and over 1,200 in ground crypts for caskets and urns. Along with an administration building, maintenance facility, grave site location kiosk and a committal service shelter for interment services. A bell tower will be added in the future.
