A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR DRAPER G. MYERS, OWNER AND OPERATOR OF DRAPER G. MYERS MORTUARY, LLC, IN FLORENCE, AND TO CONGRATULATE HIM ON THE OPENING OF ANOTHER MORTUARY IN LAKE CITY.
H4997 is a House resolution recognizing and honoring Draper G. Myers, owner and operator of Draper G. Myers Mortuary, LLC, in Florence, South Carolina. The resolution congratulates him on the opening of a second mortuary location in Lake City and highlights his long-standing involvement in the funeral profession, his commitment to compassionate and personalized service, and the family-centered care provided by the business.
The resolution recounts the company’s founding in Florence, its funeral home and cremation services, and its expansion to Lake City at 996 East Main Street. It also notes the services offered by the mortuary, including funeral planning, burials, cremation, preplanning, and grief resources, and it presents the House’s formal commendation to Mr. Myers.
This resolution does not change state law, create new regulatory requirements, or appropriate funds. Its effect is ceremonial only: it formally commends a private business owner and acknowledges the opening of a new funeral home location, while leaving existing laws governing funeral homes, cremation services, and mortuary operations unchanged.
The sentiment around the bill is uniformly positive and congratulatory. The resolution is framed as a tribute to Mr. Myers’s career, his service to families in Florence County and surrounding areas, and the expansion of his business into Lake City. No votes, amendments, or committee debate are provided, and the available text suggests no opposition or controversy.
There are no notable points of contention in the available materials. Because H4997 is a recognition resolution rather than substantive legislation, it does not appear to have generated policy disagreement. The only substantive references are descriptive statements about funeral services, cremation, and business expansion, none of which are presented as disputed issues.
