Understanding Wall Construction and Protection Levels

Not all concrete burial vaults are built to the same thickness or specification, and wall construction is where much of the protection difference lies. Doric engineers vaults with progressively heavier wall layers, so a family can select the level of protection they want. Heavier construction resists soil pressure and moisture more effectively over time.

For a family in Dallas, Texas, this means the decision is about more than concrete versus metal; it also involves how much protection a given concrete vault provides. Doric Vaults offers a range of wall grades, and a funeral provider can explain which level suits a family's wishes and the ground conditions at their chosen cemetery.
