Blue Ridge Cemetery Association | Application Preview
The Blue Ridge Cemetery Association is seeking government grant funding to upgrade and preserve their 100-year-old chapel, which requires HVAC installation, updated electrical systems, and a new land survey with deed research. Their business plan includes the recent platting of 90 new burial plots, with potential for future growth. By renovating the chapel, they aim to expand services and generate revenue through hosting small weddings, funerals, and community gatherings — fulfilling a need in their rural area, where affordable venues are scarce.
The association is led by a volunteer, locally rooted board of directors dedicated to maintaining this historic and still-operational cemetery. They emphasize responsible stewardship of grant funds and a sincere commitment to maximizing every dollar received.
With no local competition — most nearby cemeteries are abandoned and no chapels exist in the area — Blue Ridge Cemetery stands as a unique and essential community resource.
