Thank you for showing these. I had the opportunity to see and witness my Grandfather in Law be interned since I had to ride in the hearse and the driver had to stay and witness the actual burial and it was an honor to be there with him till the end. Do you ever get a chance to find out about the person being buried? I know you cannot name names, but a short voiceover about the persons life, kids, grandkids, accomplishments would be interesting to know about while watching your work.

Thank you for the awesome job you guys do showing so much respect for the dearly departed no matter who they may God bless you

So interesting, peaceful and dignified with a beautiful music bed Thanks for this wonderful video ❤

Ladies and gentlemen watching this casket lowering process, please take note: The three gentlemen who arrived during the lowering process, and obviously after the interment service was completed, are there at will, but it is a very important aspect of the lowering process. You and your buddies need to stick together and make sure that you actually go in and that that wonderful casket and vault is put where they are supposed to be put, before it’s all said and done. So yes, there’s a bit of ha ha here but actually someone really does need to witness all the way to the dirt being tapped. That’s how you know for sure that everything was done right. Nothing will be left to conjecture then.

While that is true and absolutely welcome at every service, the men in this video are the cemetery workers and the man off to the side is a director. I do not film with family present unless they ask me to, which has happened a few times. Personally my family and I prefer to stay for the entire process, to make sure it's done properly but also it does offer a sense of closure to the life of our lost loved one. In my opinion everyone should handle the Burial of family the way they chose, but having someone to hold the funeral home, vault man, and cemetery crew accountable is always advised, thank you for your comment!

@@Illianaheadstonecareofficial While I only found your page a few weeks ago, I’ve watched literally dozens and dozens of the shorts over the last few weeks. There’s something about the way that you have chosen to produce your videos that leaves me heartened and inspired. I guess if I had a complaint, it would be that more than a few of them seem to just stop (not counting the multi-part ones). On my above comment, I took liberty with my thought that perhaps the three gentlemen were just family returning after the fact and that you had somehow received permission to use the video anyway. So, I truly appreciate that you returned here with your comment in order to set things straight and to make things clear as to what was going on. Great job .. PS - The music is part of my positive review.

Thank you for sharing this This helps us

In Canada the casket liner is in the grave and the casket is lowered down into the liner.

I have a question--if the casket is made of metal, will the vault still be necessary?

Most cemetery’s require a vault.Most caskets rust and collapse from the ground pressuse leaving a dip in the ground.A vault prevents that

@razorback6098

The metal on the caskets is extremely thin. The weight of the soil on top over time would cause the top to collapse.

@@paulgrimm When I was in the Air Force, I fired the final salute to an airman being buried in a very old, early 19th century cemetery. While marching to the grave site we observed many sunken graves where over the centuries the wooden caskets had rotted away in Charleston's hot, moist, humid and very rainy climate.

Wow. Learn something new everyday. Never knew how they did it. Ty

I watched a similar video to this one. I hadn't realized that the vault was raised up to the lid for placement and sealing. I had always assumed that the lid was lowered to the vault while it was in the grave. Learned something.

I've never seen in person the vault brought up, the vault sealed and then the whole thing lowered into the ground. I've always seen it done the way your describing. There are a various ways of doing it I guess. At the end of the day I'm not going to offer my suggestions to anybody as long as everything they are doing there is with the respect of the recently departed and surviving family in mind. That and everything is heavy and awkward. I'm not gonna recommend anything LOL.

The reason we display and close grave liners in this fashion is that our company believes every funeral deserves the same respect. Having the base of a Grave liner in the bottom of the grave doesn't effect its purpose at all, but sealed Burial Vaults are displayed this way to ensure the lid of the vault is aligned properly over the base to ensure a proper seal. It's more efficient to lower the casket and close the vault or grave liner above ground where the family can see that it is done properly before being lowered.

My parents and wife are buried with no vault or liner of any kind. Just the all wood casket straight into the ground. Plus, we don’t leave until the entire grave is filled in with the dirt by hand shoveling it in.

Hello Mark how are you doing 👋🏻😊

What do you do if it’s a Jewish person being buried? Do they have a vault too or just the pine box (since they believe in ashes to ashes and dust to dust)? I know they have their own cemetery but I always wondered how they were done.

How does the top seal to the bottom of the vault or does it just sit on top?

With a concrete grave liner there isn't any kind of seal between the vault and top. It's use is strictly utility so the grave doesn't cave in.

Hello John how are you doing 👋🏻😊

In my state they don’t have nice lowering things like this I think they just use a fork lift and lower the vault top in place … I could be wrong I never stayed after to see but I’ve never seen a set up like the one you use the vault top is always on the grass

Our company sets our vaults and liners the Wilbert Way, which is where the vault or liner is closed or sealed above ground ensuring the proper closure.

Hard to believe also; but, to me it is where this body I am in will be placed, it is not where I will be. Let me just ask, how many people want to live in these things past 100, 100, 120 years? Nope, no thanks.

cremation is becoming much more common and eventually ground burials will be rare.

In Alaska in some places some dead are put on top of the ground because of melting permafrost and too much water when they dig the ground. Some are buried and some are not..

Don't seal top of vault?

@Illianaheadstonecareofficial

This grave liner does not seal, it's a concrete grave box that is strictly for the preservation of the soil above the grave.
