Cemetery Superintendent - Mr. Larry Montandon
Welcome to the progress page for the South Carolina M.J. “Dolly” Cooper Veterans Cemetery. We are proud to say that this cemetery began operations on Friday, 14 December 2007. The official dedication of the cemetery will be scheduled in the Spring of 2008. The first State Veterans Cemetery is located in Anderson, South Carolina, adjacent to the Richard Campbell State Veterans Nursing Home on the Belton Highway.
The construction of this cemetery was a result of collaboration between the State of South Carolina and the Veterans Administrations' Cemetery and Memorial Affairs Department, which resulted in South Carolina receiving a grant from the Federal Government to build and initially equip the cemetery. The responsibility of operating the cemetery belongs to the State of South Carolina, and is managed by the South Carolina Office of Veterans Affairs.
Please contact the cemetery staff telephonically, email, or in person by visiting the cemetery; we welcome your questions and comments.
