Vietnam Veterans of America, Monroe County Chapter 142 is offering Cemetery plots / gravesites at Roselawn Cemetery in
LaSalle, MI for any United States veteran. A veteran is any man or woman 17 or older who served or was currently serving
in the U.S. military at the time of his/her death or had received an Honorable or General Discharge from said service.
To receive the plot / gravesite, the following conditions must be met:
1. The veteran must be deceased.
2 There must be proof of U.S. military service (DD-214),
3 The family must show proof of residency in Monroe County at the time of entry into the service or proof of residency
immediately after discharge from service and
4. The family must express/show a need for the gravesite/plot due to financial hardship
Although the actual site would be donated a no-cost for the veteran, Roselawn Cemetery does charge a fee for opening/closing
of gravesites which would have to be paid by the veterans family. These sites do NOT have the ability to allow for a spouse or
loved one to be buried next to them, so these sites are primarily for single, divorced or no spouse or family member co-located
site needed. If all four of these conditions can be met, please contact Larry Richterat 734-735-9646 OR 734-242-0841 for further
details.
