 | Bronze Caskets: Bronze is an alloy of copper and zinc or tin. Bronze caskets are known for their longevity and resistance to corrosive elements. They are more expensive due to the price of zinc and the cost of blending the copper with the zinc or tin. Bronze caskets are measured by their thickness in Ounces. A 32 ounce bronze is equivalent to 18 gauge steel. | | |
 |
Copper Caskets: Copper is next to bronze in regard to longevity and resistance to corrosive elements. Copper caskets are measured by their thickness in Ounces. A 32 ounce copper is equivalent to 18 gauge steel. |

Stainless Steel Caskets: Stainless steel is an alloy of carbon steel containing 10% or more of Chromium. The Chromium causes the formation of a protective film which makes the steel resistant to oxidation and various types of corrosion. |

We offer vaults made of the following materials:
| Steel Vaults: These vaults are made from non-porous metals. Their dome-shaped design allows for the air pressure inside to force water below the casket level. Steel Vaults are made in several different gauges and can be made of non-galvanized or galvanized steel. Galvanized vaults are dipped in molten zinc which provides a thicker coating on the vault that will provide a longer life for the vault. |  | | |
| Concrete Vaults: These vaults have an inner liner that is bonded to the concrete surfaces. The base and top of the vault have a tongue-in groove design. A butyl sealing compound is used to seal the vault. The liners can be made of bronze, copper, stainless steel, and a polystyrene material. |  |
Aluminum Vaults: The Aluminum Vault design is similar to the
steel vaults. Their dome-shaped design allows for the air pressure inside to
force water below the casket level. Aluminum vaults are made in several
series, which are about the same size thickness as 7 ga, 10 ga and 12 ga.
