Burial Vault
A burial vault is a sturdy container designed to protect the
casket. If you are planning an earth burial, cemeteries require the
casket to be placed in a burial vault. The decedent, casket
and vault are buried. A burial vault is made of concrete, plastic
or metal. The burial vault completely encloses the casket and
is used primarily to keep the weight of the ground from crushing the
burial casket and to protect the
ground from sinking. The burial vault aids in keeping water
and other elements out of the casket.
There are several different types of vaults to choose from. Please view
our website to see the various burial vaults that are available.
Our professional staff is available 24 hours a day to assist you in
selecting the appropriate burial vault. Listed below are three
different strengths of burial vaults and how they are constructed.
- Basic Protection Burial Vault: This container
is a single reinforced unit and it features concrete construction
with plastic-reinforcement for strength and durability. This
type of burial vault is usually the least expensive
for consumers. There are different styles available such as
the Venetian, Continental, Salute & Monticello.
- Standard Protection Burial Vault: High-strength
concrete, stainless steel, and high impact ABS Triune thermoplastic
material combine for a durable inner protection in our middle
of the line, double-reinforced products. A double-reinforcement
burial vault provides the casket with superior long-lasting
protection against subsoil elements and the weight of heavy
cemetery maintenance equipment. The three standard vaults are:
Stainless Steel Triune, Cameo Rose Triune and the Veteran Triune.
- Premium Protection Burial Vault: This type
of vault will provide excellent durability with superior long
term protection against subsoil elements and the weight of heavy
cemetery maintenance equipment. There are three types of premium
protection receptacles to select from: The Wilbert Bronze, Bronze
Triune & Copper Triune. All premium protection burial vault
products will come with a brass capsule that will store a personal
message to the loved one and will also include a scroll with
vital identification that be placed in the carapace of the
burial vault.
*We also offer infant / casket
burial vault combinations that
will preserve precious thoughts and memories with the same protection
and grace as full-sized vaults listed above.
Personalization for the
burial vault is available. This may
include a print, emblem, appliqué or canvas carapace. Personalizing
the burial vault for your loved one with words, symbols and images will
help family and friends honor the life that has been lived. This is
an option that aids in beginning the healing process while leaving a
peaceful lasting memory.
