Our team visited Wilbert Vault in Kansas City for hands-on training focused on cemetery vaults and their manufacturing process.
We are sometimes asked why a burial vault is needed and what purpose it serves. A casket is designed to enclose the body, while the outer burial container, commonly known as a vault, encloses the casket. The vault helps sustain the weight of the earth above and protects the casket from the elements. For families who choose cremation with urn burial, an urn vault serves the same purpose by protecting the urn. Most cemeteries require an outer burial container to help preserve the integrity of the grave space and prevent settling caused by earth and heavy machinery.

Merry Christmas to all of the families we have been honored to serve. 🎄❤️

Today can bring a mix of emotions, especially for those who are navigating the holidays after the loss of a loved one. Traditions may feel different, and moments of joy and sadness can exist side by side and that’s okay.

If it brings you comfort, we encourage you to share memories, tell stories, and speak the name of those you hold close in your heart. Remembering them is a meaningful way to keep their love present today.

From our family to yours, we are wishing you peace and comfort this Christmas.

Friendly Reminder!

Our Annual Fall Clean-Up is happening this Saturday, November 15th!

Please take a moment to remove any decorations before that date so they don’t get discarded. We also recommend waiting a day after clean-up to place new decorations, just to make sure nothing gets caught in the mix.

Thank you so much for your understanding and help in keeping our grounds looking beautiful! 🍂

Yesterday, we had the privilege of hosting our annual Memorial Day wreath presentation - a meaningful tradition that allows us to honor and remember the brave servicemen and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

We are grateful to the individuals and organizations who contributed to the service: Bagpiper Steve Denny, the American Legion Riders, and the Topeka West High School Army JROTC. Thank you for helping us make this service truly memorable.
