Suncheon City Forest Association Promotes 50% Discount on Grave Mowing Helper Service

To Prevent the Spread of COVID-19, Minimizing Chuseok Holiday Travel for Out-of-Town Residents

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City and the Suncheon Forestry Cooperative are actively taking measures such as reducing the service fees for the ‘Beolcho Helper’ service amid the movement to refrain from visiting hometowns during the Chuseok holiday to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Until now, the Suncheon Forestry Cooperative has been providing Beolcho agency services at an average basic price of 80,000 KRW per grave, but from the 11th, to minimize the movement of visitors and prevent the local spread of COVID-19, the Beolcho Helper service fees have been reduced by 50% for applications made from that date.

The discount applies only to expatriates who do not have an address in Suncheon, and applications for the Beolcho agency service can be made through the Suncheon Forestry Cooperative and the Eup/Myeon/Dong Administrative Welfare Centers.

A Suncheon city official stated, “More than 200 applications for Beolcho agency services have been received as of the 10th, more than double compared to last year,” and added, “We are carefully performing Beolcho with the spirit of honoring our ancestors, so please feel assured and use the Beolcho Helper service, and we ask everyone to cooperate in preventing the spread of COVID-19.”

Meanwhile, applications for the Beolcho Helper service are accepted until the 10th of next month after the Chuseok holiday, and if COVID-19 is not eradicated next year, the service will continue to be expanded.
