While both a Vault and a Graveliner are made of concrete and designed to have a casket placed inside them, a Vault will include additional layers of protection in the form of internal and sometimes external liners that can be made from heavy plastics or metals or both. These liners help to provide additional structural integrity and weatherproofing not offered by Graveliners. 

Each burial space purchase includes interment rights for one person, however, a second right of interment may be purchased to allow one casket burial and one cremation burial or two cremation burials per space.

The Interment Fee or Professional Services fee is the amount collected for a memorial service performed at the time of burial. These services include but are not limited to; preparing the grave for burial, providing tent, chairs, and other equipment needed on the day of the service, sod removal/replacement, closing and packing the grave, temporary marker, administrative services, and routine lawn care/maintenance. 

For traditional casket burials, it will be necessary to have a burial vault in which the casket is placed prior to burial. For cremation burials, cremains must be placed in an urn vault or in a cultured marble urn.  The vaults may be purchased here at the cemetery or at the funeral home of your choice. The vaults purchased must meet our guidelines before being allowed in our cemetery. The interment fee must also be paid in full at least 24 hours before the interment. In addition, most families choose to commemorate their loved one with a memorial marker.
