Woodlawn Memorial Park has secured a $692,089 commercial building permit for a new above-ground burial mausoleum at 25 Pine Knoll Drive, marking a sizable investment in expanded burial capacity at one of Greenville's long-established memorial parks.
The permit, issued May 20, 2026, calls for a poured-in-place concrete and rebar structure clad in granite. According to the permit description, the mausoleum will contain casket spaces only — no doors, no windows, and no utility connections. McCleskey Construction Co. is listed as the contractor on the project.
Above-ground mausoleums represent a distinct category of commercial construction, one that requires precise engineering for structural integrity and long-term durability. The use of poured concrete reinforced with rebar, finished with granite cladding, points to a structure built for permanence. The absence of any utility hookups or entryways reflects the building's singular purpose as a sealed interment facility.
At nearly $700,000, the project ranks among the more notable single-permit filings in Greenville's recent commercial activity. Memorial park expansions of this scale are relatively uncommon in the city's permit records, and the investment suggests that Woodlawn Memorial Park is responding to sustained demand for burial options in the area.
Pine Knoll Drive sits within the existing Woodlawn Memorial Park property on Greenville's east side, and the new mausoleum will add to the park's existing inventory of burial infrastructure. The permit is currently listed with a status of "Issued," meaning construction may begin immediately.
The project matters because it represents a nearly $700,000 private-sector commitment to permanent infrastructure in Greenville — a category of construction that rarely draws attention but reflects long-term demographic and market planning by an established local institution.
