Cremation urns placed in the ground face the same environmental forces that act on full-size caskets. Soil pressure, moisture infiltration, ground movement, and the weight of surface activity all bear on the burial site over time. A metal urn vault encloses the urn in a sealed steel or alloy shell that resists those forces and keeps the contents protected. CMV Fabrication manufactures metal urn vaults from stainless steel and reinforced alloys, sized specifically for cremation urn burial.
Urn vaults are smaller than casket vaults but the engineering principles are identical. The walls must resist soil load. The seams must block moisture. The surface coating must hold up against corrosion over extended burial timelines. CMV Fabrication applies the same construction standards to its cremation vaults that it uses for its full-size metal burial vaults, including continuous welded seams and powder coat finishing.
Each metal urn vault is fabricated from stainless steel or reinforced alloy stock, cut and welded to enclose a standard or oversized cremation urn with clearance for secure placement. Seams are continuously welded to eliminate moisture pathways. The exterior receives a powder coat finish in CMV Fabrication's own facility, providing corrosion protection below ground and a clean appearance at graveside. Custom color options are available for families or funeral homes that want a specific presentation during the committal service.
CMV Fabrication supplies metal urn vaults to funeral homes, cemeteries, estate planners, and families arranging cremation burials. Standard sizing accommodates the most common cremation urn dimensions, and custom sizing is available for oversized or non-standard urns. Funeral directors who regularly need cremation vault inventory can establish recurring order configurations with CMV Fabrication to keep supply on hand.
