Phased turf renovation project to begin at M.J. Dolly Cooper Veterans Cemetery
ANDERSON, SC (SCDVA) - Beginning Monday, August 17, M.J. "Dolly" Cooper Veterans Cemetery in Anderson will begin a cemetery-wide turf renovation project throughout all burial gardens. This important improvement project is designed to enhance the long-term appearance, health, and sustainability of the cemetery grounds, ensuring we continue to provide a beautiful and dignified final resting place for South Carolina's Veterans and their eligible family members.
The first phase of the project will involve treating and eliminating the existing vegetation between the headstones. During this time, visitors will notice the burial gardens have a temporary brown or dormant appearance. Beginning the first week of September, crews will power rake the burial gardens to level the grade, loosen the soil, and incorporate soil amendments in preparation for new sod installation. Sod installation is expected to begin during the second week of September and will continue until the project is complete.
We want to assure Veterans, families, and visitors that all scheduled interments, memorial services, and normal cemetery visitation will continue without interruption throughout the renovation. Every effort will be made to minimize the impact of the work while maintaining the dignity, honor, and respect our Veterans and their families deserve.
We appreciate your assistance in helping us communicate these temporary changes to the public and set appropriate expectations as we complete these much-needed improvements.
