Burial Vault Options

For added beauty and serenity, we offer walk-in mausoleums that include landscaped surroundings, ornamental fencing, and integrated gardens to create a peaceful, enclosed atmosphere.

Gated and Garden-Style Walk-Ins
Polypropylene Air-Seal Vaults

MMG offers air-seal vaults only. We do not sell concrete vaults. Concrete is porous and allows moisture to penetrate, while solid polypropylene forms a strong barrier.

These vaults use a dome-over-base design that creates a watertight seal through natural air pressure. This design supports long life and consistent protection. Our team can demonstrate how this seal works before you decide.

Clark Steel Vaults

These premium vaults also use air-seal technology. They are constructed with solid 12, 10, or 7-gauge steel and can also be made from 0.125-inch aluminum or solid copper.

They come in many colors to coordinate with casket selections. Each vault undergoes a strict water-tightness test before leaving the factory to confirm its strength.

Custom Decorative Vaults

Personalize with emblems, inscriptions, color accents, or other design touches to honor your loved one’s life.
