Burial Vaults

What is a burial vault?
A burial vault is a reinforced outer structure that protects the casket against moisture and the weight of the earth.
The importance of a burial vault is clear. A wooden casket over time will more than likely weaken because of the moisture and the weight of the earth. This results in a sunken grave. First of all a difficult sight upon a family’s visit as well as a maintenance problem for the cemetery.

One of the greatest comforts of a protective outer container is knowing the grave will remain intact and undisturbed by nearby burials.

Cremation Vaults

The cremation vault serves the same purpose as the larger burial vault. Once a wooden urn is placed in the earth - time and the elements break down the container. It is advisable to spent a couple dollars more on a permanent bronze or marble urn therefore eliminating the need for an urn vault.
