"Chuseok Grave Mowing Service Available"... Gyeongju City, Basic Fee 100,000 Won

Gyeongju City is addressing the difficulties faced by expatriates and local residents in managing ancestral graves by providing a grass-cutting service for Chuseok.

On the 6th, Gyeongju City announced, "From September 14 to September 15, for five weeks, a grass-cutting service task force will be formed and operated. The task force was established through cooperation between five local Nonghyup branches and the Gyeongju City Forestry Cooperative."

Last year, the Grave Mowing Agency Task Force provided grave mowing services at a cemetery in the Gyeongju area.

Applications for the grass-cutting service can be made by phone reservation to the Agricultural Policy Division of Gyeongju City. Once received, the cases are notified to the task force by district, and the grass-cutting work proceeds. The basic cost for the grass-cutting service is 100,000 KRW, with additional fees possible depending on the location of the burial mound.

Ko Young-dal, head of the Agricultural Policy Division of Gyeongju City, said, "We are providing the grass-cutting service for those who have difficulty managing graves ahead of the Chuseok holiday," and added, "We hope many expatriates and local residents will apply."

The grass-cutting service task force handled 107 cases over five weeks in 2021 and 138 cases over four weeks in 2022.
