The gravesite is carefully dug using a backhoe or other heavy machinery, removing soil to the required depth.
The bottom of the grave is leveled and compacted to provide a stable foundation for the vault.
The burial vault is carefully lowered into the grave, ensuring it is properly aligned and centered.
A high-quality butyl rubber compound is applied between the base and lid to create a secure, watertight seal.
Soil is gradually replaced around the vault, compacting as needed to prevent settling.
The gravesite is restored with sod or seeded for a neat, natural appearance.
