Caskets
Bronze - a semiprecious material made of an alloy (combination) of copper and either zinc or tin. Bronze is the strongest and longest-lasting of any casket material. Bronze is resistant to corrosive elements, making it a naturally non-rusting material, an important consideration in selecting caskets. A bronze casket is the finest in material and construction.
Copper - a precious metal is a naturally non-rusting material as it is also resistant to corrosive elements. Copper is one third stronger than stainless steel and can be made in 32 and 48 ounce weights, making it the second most durable casket available. A copper casket marks another of the finest in material and construction.
Stainless Steel - is an alloy of carbon steel and chromium and nickel. The chromium protects against rust and oxidation, making this combination of stainless steel rust resistant and more than eight times stronger than carbon steel alone. A stainless steel casket is a fine choice in protection and craftsmanship.
Steel - a long lasting material and affordable price make the steel casket a popular choice. Though it is not as strong or long lasting as the other three metal caskets it does allow multiple choices in thickness. A standard steel casket comes in 16 (thickest), 18 (Medium), or 20 (thinnest) gauge. However; like the bronze, copper, and stainless steel the standard steel casket is available in a large range of colors.
Wood - oldest material known to man makes it a natural and environmentally sound choice when selecting a casket. Hardwoods are strong and beautiful. Wood caskets; naturally warm and beautiful, hand crafted, like fine furniture, and have unique graining patterns, give them each their own identity. In addition to warmth and beauty, woods come in a variety of types/species: including but not limited to mahogany, walnut, cherry, oak, maple, hickory, and pecan, making wood a stunning selection in caskets.

Vaults
Are used for in-ground burials to surround and protect the casket from the weight of the earth and cemetery equipment.
As a result of the functions and demands required of outer burial receptacles there are two distinct categories of burial units. The purpose for the two category levels is to differentiate between minimal structural requirements called for by many cemeteries, versus the additional features increasingly expected by consumers in today’s market.
Burial Vault - A lined and sealed burial receptacle designed to support the weight of the earth and standard cemetery maintenance equipment and to prevent the grave from collapsing; and constructed using one or more lining and sealing materials to increase the overall tensile strength of the finished unit and to reduce the risk of the intrusion of exterior elements.
Graveliner - A burial receptacle placed in the ground in a cemetery, either sectional, dome or box form designed and built to meet the minimum requirements set forth by cemeteries to keep the ground from collapsing.
