This is a fantastic video of the process for the setup of a burial vault at graveside.

We entrust our families graveside care to Kelley Wilbert Vault and have for years; they are trusting, professional and never hesitate to lend whatever hand is needed.

This post was made by one of their employees who not only take pride in his work, but also has a side business (Illiana Headstone Care) in which he cleans and helps restore headstones for families.
