Lauck & Veldhof Funeral & Cremation Services has been serving the south-side, downtown and greater Indianapolis Community since its inception in 1896 by Anthony J. Lauck. The first location was established on S. Meridian Street where I-70 currently crosses and was moved to its present location in the early 1920's by Anthony P. Lauck, A.J.'s son.
Our current location was originally part of a large farm stretching back to West Street and the railroad tracks. Frederick Beck raised cattle and owned a slaughter house by the railroad tracks. They would slaughter the cattle and ship them out across the county. The original part of the house was built in 1877 and had additions added in 1954 and 1960.

Veterans Overview
Report
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
Veterans Headstones
Report
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
Veterans Burial Flags
Report
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.
