A custom metal vault's exterior finish serves two purposes at two different points in time. During the committal service, the vault is visible at graveside and its appearance contributes to the dignity of the ceremony. After burial, the finish becomes the vault's primary barrier against surface corrosion from soil contact and moisture exposure. CMV Fabrication handles both requirements through its in-house powder coating facility, which applies finishes that bond to the metal at a molecular level during high-temperature curing. Available options span matte, gloss, metallic, and textured surfaces, with custom color matching available for families or funeral homes that need a specific visual presentation.
Beyond color and finish, CMV Fabrication can incorporate personalized elements into the vault's exterior during the fabrication process. Laser-cut graphics, emblems, names, and custom artwork can be integrated into the vault panels before the powder coat is applied. Because the personalization and finishing happen in the same facility where the vault is structurally fabricated, the custom elements are built into the product rather than applied after the fact. Funeral directors and families interested in a personalized custom metal vault can discuss design options with CMV Fabrication during the specification phase of the order.
