Why...
Why do I need a Burial Vault?
In most areas of the United States and Canada, a cemetery requires the casket to be enclosed within
a burial vault or grave liner. There are vast differences in these two engineered to support the weight
of the earth above the grave as well as the heavy equipment that passes over it.
(*All Master Grave Service vaults are made to exceed cemetery requirements for strength and rigidity.*)

(*All Master Grave Service vaults are made to exceed cemetery requirements for strength and rigidity.*)
The weight of the earth and heavy
equipment used to dig graves far
exceeds what an unprotected
casket can withstand. A burial vault
made of specially formulated,
reinforced concrete is designed to
support these elements and more.
Concrete becomes stronger as it
continues to cure after being
placed in the ground; so a vault
properly buried years ago could
actually be stronger today. Our
water-resistant, lined burial vaults
are made to guard against impact
and moisture.

What happens during the burial process?
The grave service or cemetery workers will open a loved one's grave using a backhoe or other type
of mechanical equipment. A backhoe can weigh up to 25,000 pounds. As it passes over the grave, it
not only exerts tremendous dynamic or moving load, but possibly extreme impact loads while digging
adjacent graves.
The burial vault is delivered to the grave just prior to the service. The vault is carefully moved to the
gravesite and placed on a lowering device positioned over the freshly dug grave. Each vault
includes a nameplate with the name, birth date and death date of the deceased. Other
personalization such as life or religious symbols may be placed on the vault before delivery.
Family and friends gather at the gravesite for final ceremonies and to say "good-bye." Afterwards,
Factory trained personnel properly seal the casket and place it into the vault while it is above ground.
It is then gently lowered into the grave. Cemetery workers return to the grave, fill it with soil and
compact it. Later, sod is placed on the grave, or it is re-seeded.

How does a Concrete burial vault work?
The structural design of the burial vault supports the weight of the earth above the casket by:
1. The weight and design of the vault
2. Use of reinforced concrete
3. The use of sealing and lining materials
The weight of the earth above a grave can exert tremendous pressure. Mechanical equipment,
backhoes and delivery trucks can exceed 25,000 pounds as they pass over the grave. Burial vaults
weigh between 2,300 and 2,700 pounds. They are designed to support these tremendous forces
from above.

The use of lining and sealing
materials places the most
efficient resources available
between the outside forces of
weight and water and the
casket that has been placed
inside. Linings and seals
merge the cover and base of
the vault into a water-resistant
unit. They work together to
keep the effects of outside
elements from damaging the
casket and its contents.
