Burial Vault Construction- Why We Use Wilbert®

Why a Lined Burial Vault is Better?

Superior engineering and advanced technology combines with hand craftsmanship to produce every Wilbert vault. High-quality structural concrete is the basis of our vaults' strength and durability. Additional strength is added in the bonded interior liners, made of high-impact thermoformed plastics such as ABS Marbelon®, ABS Trilon® or Strentex®. Beauty and additional strength are added with interior linings of stainless steel, copper or bronze.

Not All Burial Receptacles Provide the Same Protection

There are several factors that weigh upon a burial vault. For instance, there is the heavy equipment necessary for maintaining the cemetery grounds that pass over the burial vault during cemetery operations. To keep the grave from collapsing under the weight, a strong, durable vault is essential.

Types of Burial Receptacles

Bell Vault	Concrete Box	Lined Vault

While there are several different outer receptacles from which to choose, the levels of protection offered by each vary dramatically. The bell vault, a lightweight fiberglass or plastic vault, is designed to be stacked and stored above ground for a long period of time before burial. The grave box, an unlined concrete box with holes in the base allows ground water to escape. For the most protection, you'll want to consider a lined concrete burial vault, a long lasting receptacle with its coated exterior and lined interior.
