Products - Burial Vaults

A burial vault is a protective outer container for the casket. In some cases, a vault is not required, however it provides the casket with superior, long-lasting protection against subsoil elements and the weight of heavy cemetery maintenance equipment. Howell Funeral Home & Crematory can help you decide on the type of vault necessary to meet your needs, and that of the cemetery. Like caskets and urns, vaults can also be personalized with images, emblems, or engraved words or verses.
