Alabama Veterans Cemetery

Project Overview

WSC served as general contractor over the 13-month Phase I construction process of the Alabama State Memorial Cemetery at Spanish Fort. The picturesque cemetery is Alabama’s first and only state veterans cemetery and allows for 2,776 burials in the 23-acre tract of Phase One. Burial sites include double depth crypts, traditional gravesites, columbarium niches and in-ground cremains. The detail and size of site improvements, which required full attention to erosion/sediment control throughout construction, was a challenge on the rolling property. The cemetery boasts a 2,746 square-foot administration building with conference, eating and office spaces, a 1,089 square-foot committal shelter, and a 3,696 square-foot maintenance building.
