Walcott Cemetery and Walcott Area Veterans Memorial

Call Directions Website

Walcott Cemetery and Walcott Area Veterans Memorial Walcott has a rich history of men and women who served our country in foreign wars or stateside. The Walcott Veterans Memorial is a 501-c3 Private Foundation.

With each military burial, the Honor Guard performs a flag folding ceremony. On Memorial Day, the Honor Guard performs Taps & Gun Salute at 7 rural Richland County Cemeteries: Christine, Eagle, Lium, South Pleasant, Hemnes and Walcott. Our goal is to build a granite memorial to recognize the 350 veterans buried in these cemeteries and future veteran honorees. It will serve as a historical touchstone, linking the past to the present - enabling people to remember and respect the sacrifice of those who died, fought, or were affected by conflicts. We are asking the entire business and private community to invest in our veterans’ legacy.
