Burial vaults

Burial Vaults

Most cemeteries require some type of outer container to enclose the casket and support the weight of the ground (many hundreds of pounds) above the grave. Some cemeteries allow only top-seal vaults. Vaults are made of some type of metal (steel, stainless steel or copper), concrete (painted or unpainted), or concrete with some type of synthetic liner to add protection and peace of mind. By definition, a burial vault is sealed; an outer container or grave liner does not seal.   


All vault purchases are subject to an additional $275.00 ($375.00 for a Saturday service, $500.00 for a Sunday service) charge for tent, lowering device, setting and sealing. The only warranties, expressed or implied, granted in connection with the merchandise sold are the express written warranties, if any, extended by the manufacturer thereof. No other warranties and no warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose are extended by the funeral home.
