Providing an extra element of protection for loved ones, a concrete burial vault can protect a casket, shielding it from various forces.
Protecting the Casket
Cemeteries may experience “grave depressions” caused by heavy grave-digging equipment, underground water sources, and pressure from excavated soil. Grave depressions occur when an already-buried coffin is deformed due to these pressures. A sealed burial vault protects the casket from these external forces. It not only safeguards the casket from ground pressure but also seals it to an extent from groundwater sources. Many cemeteries stipulate the use of burial vaults to prevent grave depressions and avoid the need for constant maintenance to ensure level ground.
Mack Industries’ Burial vaults are precast in our plant under controlled conditions before being transported to a cemetery, thus ensuring the highest quality possible. Some burial vault makers are certified by leading associations when it comes to manufacturing precast concrete vaults. For instance, the National Precast Concrete Association has certified several Mack Industries plants for proper plant operation and robust quality systems.
