The first step of every committal service is to place the burial vault onto a stable platform above the grave. In most cemeteries, the plots are aligned in an east to west fashion. This cemetery faces Southeast, and the graves are aligned in accordance with the headstone foundations, with the orientation of the vault and casket set in accordance with their headstone. #Wilbertburialvaults #gravesite #casketburial #graveyard #6feet | Austin Edwards

The Committal Service Interment Process. This process occurs after the preacher has spoken, and the family has departed to the luncheon or repast after the committal service. The Funeral Director remains at the graveside to witness the interment, often times offering assistance in the process. #casketlowering #vaultsealing #Interment #funeralservice #gravesite | Austin Edwards
