How to Estimate Date of Closure For Casketed Burial Area
Add block # 29 for both Veterans and Dependents and use that total to divide into block #17. That total should be added to the
current reporting year to obtain the estimated closure date.
Example: Block # 29 - (Veterans) 4 and (Dependents) 18 = 22
Block # 17 is 400
Divide 22 into 400 = 18 years
Add 18 years to the reporting month and year (April 2008) = April 2026
How to Estimate Date of In-Ground Burial Area
Example: Block # 30 - (Veterans) 12 and (Dependents) 6 = 18
Block # 20 is 276
Divide 18 into 276 = 15 years
Add the 15 years to the reporting month and year (April 2008) = April 2023
How to Estimate Date of Closure for Columbarium Area
Example: Block #31 - (Veterans) 22 and (Dependents) 7 = 29
Block #23 is 640
Divide 29 into 640 = 22 years
Add the 22 years to the reporting month and year (April 2008) = April 2030
