Burial Vaults


What is a Burial Vault?

A burial vault is a lined and sealed outer container that houses the casket for burial. The burial vault protects the casket from the weight of the earth and heavy maintenance equipment that passes over the grave. The burial vault also helps resist water and preserves the grave from settling.

Selecting a Burial Vault

When you select a burial vault, for you or your loved one, always consider the material in which the vault is made, the design of the vault, and personalization options of the vault. A major consideration would also be the vault's construction.
