Location: Boise Veterans Cemetery
Pre-Registration Application
Pre-Registration is a means to verify eligibility in advance for those veterans, guardsman, reservist, and their spouse or dependents who are interested in interment in the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery (Boise or Blackfoot). With the proof of eligibility on file, a family no longer has the burden of acquiring these records at the time of death. There is no cost for pre-registration, and it does not obligate you to be placed at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery (Boise or Blackfoot), nor does it reserve a specific plot. It also does not constitute a “pre-needs arrangement contract” with the cemetery; for that, we recommend that you create a will or burial plan.

Request for Burial / Inurnment
Form for requesting interment at the time of need. The Funeral Director can submit the completed application and copies of required documentation via email or fax to the appropriate cemetery office. Alternately, the Next-of-Kin can meet with the Cemetery Staff in person, and we will assist you with the request form and other details for your loved one’s interment. If you need further assistance, please call the appropriate cemetery office.
Please ensure all requests are filled out completely to insure both timely scheduling of interments and ordering of markers. We need both the service member’s and spouse’s social security numbers and next-of-kins address to complete the necessary steps in ordering the gravesite marker.
