HB 493 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

CEMETERIES: Provides for the merger of cemetery trust funds

This bill allows cemetery authorities to combine two or more separate trust funds into a single fund if they all support the same cemetery. The law requires the merged fund to list the names of the original funds that were combined. This change simplifies financial management for cemetery trusts by reducing the number of individual accounts they must maintain.
