Burial Vaults

  • There are no federal, state or local requirements regarding burial vaults; however, burial vaults are required by many cemeteries for interment of caskets and urns.
  • Burial vaults available from Wetzel and Son are manufactured from concrete with steel reinforcement.
  • Premium burial vaults are displayed and sealed above the ground on a "Way Service," and are manufactured with larger amounts of concrete, steel reinforcement and ornamentation and include liners of polystyrene or semi precious metals.
  • Standard burial vaults are generally not displayed at the cemetery and are closed in the ground.
