These people know you take care of them, even though they may not be here, they can see your care just from the other side. And they appreciate the little touches that you make, and the care that you take even though it’s a job, you do it well.
You are a true craftsman and have a big heart. Doing everything right and safely matters even if those who've lost a loved one might not ever notice the care you took. When my grandmother was burried, I actually stayed behind to watch the casket be lowered into the vault and the lid sealed. The vault man doing it explained how the equipment worked as he did it as I asked.
I've watched one of your videos and the spirit of excellence you have is simply wonderful to see in action. I commend you and thank you for all that you do for the families.
Man I have always been fascinated with stuff like this and always scared to watch on RUclips but it’s just the way that you explain everything with the background music and story telling which makes it comfortable for me to watch. God bless you brother and everyone who will eventually have to be laid to rest 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
A great presentation just a dash please. Proud of you 'Wilbert Vaults' are presented in many areas around me. Springfield Illinois the capital reaches out to rural cemeteries. Hard to get places for all of the plan. My heart goes out to you and I understand your dedication and commitment. Be Proud stay Strong and live n love.
You bring such a human side to this. It's nice to know there are men like you who care about people in their times of loss. You need to set it up so folks can join your channel and help with your headstone cleaning costs.
Absolutely admirer your work and caring manner. You are truly a blessing to your families. I wish there were more like you. I also want to thank you for sharing this process to let us know what our options are in memorializing our loved ones. You are truly a gift from Jehovah. May you always be remembered for this service. Thank you for sharing this.
You are simply a amazing individual sir. I am sorry about your friend and your friends mom. I am more than positive that kaceys family was glad to see you there helping putting her to rest in her final resting place. A known friendly face always is peaceful during these time god bless you
I was going to be cremated but watching your videos have made me rethink this decision seeing you have so much care in this and the vault process. Thank you for your care
I am a preacher and have preached several funerals for Christians and non-Christians. That dash in the middle means a lot. I appreciate all that you do. First started watching you on Instagram. Thank you.
I wish I would have known the information you have shared when we buried my grandmother in California. We were told that we couldn’t stay behind to watch her be lowered. They told us it would cost us more money to do so. Watching your videos has given me more peace of mind on how the lowering process works.
Thk u and all the folks that do thgs oerfect for others, i do my parents and both my grandparents but def nowhere in comparison to the the beauty that yall do. Thk u for sharing exactly what and hows to keep head stones 7:59 beautiful that we always want them to be,
When my dad passed the funeral home did a horrible job with both his preparation, and his service. They forgot things in the vehicles and left. They also forgot things at the funeral home. They also got the wrong casket color for him. It was a horrible job by them enough that my mom and myself along with some others that where involved don't want to use them at all. Then, on top of everything his gravesite kept collapsing due to ground moisture. Which I understand wasn't anyone's fault but it just was like the final insult of the day.
Wow, back in the late 70's we were installing 28-36 vaults a day in Greensboro N C. area. I see y'all are a much smaller shop. We had gone to the Logan trailers even back then. Keep up the great work!!!!
I've enjoyed watching your video's after losing my Dad last year and knowing the process that took place. I want to share a story with you, about 14years ago my girlfriend lost her Dad and as we were about to place his casket into the Mausoleum his casket was about half way in and the workers walked away to their truck to get something the casket slide out and I happened to catch it and pushed it in the wall
Amazing. i fully respect and admire all you do for the departed and the family. I am so impress at the process. Here is the UK it is still VICTORIAN TIMES. NO such thing as an outer vault. Cheap rubbish chipboard or MDF board. and the open grave is surrounded by what is dug out. There is no dignity about a grave setting. They still use4 DIRTY CLOTHED grave diggers with old rope to lower and jossil the casket at various angles and height. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE VICTORAIN WAYS, AS ARE MOST THINGS STILL TODAY. Thank you for all you do.
Do you really want all that metal, paint and plastic to be put into the earth just to make it look more dignified? In the end we will all become part of the earth and therefore enable new things to grow. I think that is the most beautiful thing!
Worked at Wilbert for 15 years...1994...2009...And 99 percent of the time would be the vault in the ground....The Wilbert way was only used once in a while....I'm in the northeast so the ground was rarely good enough for the weight of the vault to be suspended....
Your videos are an incredible insight on this tough job. I would be curious if possible to also include the final tear down and possible fill backing in of the grave from the gravedigger itself?
Sure I said it on another video, but was glad I was allowed to watch my grandma be lowered last year. Indo mean this in respect, but found the lady who was buried in this video on findagrave and she passed only 9 days before this video released. May.she rest in peace.
Which Brand & Model Vault is the best water-free/ tight? I don't want to end up in a wet grave forever. Is the cheaper concrete vault water-tight? What do they do to make them watertight? Someone told me there is a plastic insert they use. Is that true? Awesome video thumbs up. God bless you for what you do.
Would you prefer to be decaying very slowly surrounded by plastic and metals? The most beautiful thing to me is that we return to the earth and once again become part of it. A second life on a molecular level where we are part of a new plant, tree or other life form?
@36.00 why is the grave so shallow? I live in the UK and my father after being diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer wanted a double depth grave for when his wife, my step mother passes. On the day of his funeral I was one of the bearers and have never seen a grave so deep. It was 9 nearly 10ft down. The grave you have here is at the depth that the moles run it seems that shallow.
You’re so talented and gentle hearted. I’m so incredibly sorry for the loss of your friend Kacey. She was so young. Have you done anything for a kids funeral like Frozen or Moana?
You are doing a great job! I respect you very much for all the effort you put into your work and for the dignity that you provide for those who have passed. I am from the Netherlands and our view of burials differs quite a bit from the USA. It is very important to us that the casket (coffin) will decompose completely and won't pose a biological threat. What is your view on all that metal going into the soil including an embalmed (toxic) body? With all due respect, but that would very much not be acceptable here.
I lost my father when I was 9. His headstone is nowhere near as fancy as the ones you’ve cleaned. But there is damage on it that was caused by a mower. Is that something that should be fixed by the memorial park?
its honorable to work with the deceased while i know peoples faith differ's i do think while the mechanical body shuts down that their spirit lives on otherwise we would not have memories i dunno about you the ongoing joke in these parts is when the dead rise how they are going to get out of these vaults? where im at there is who knows how many remains are in these mountains i live on land with a family cemetery very common but i think i would lose it when people start walking down these forest covered hills i have comforted family with humor it helps so much with grief if you find out a little about the persons character i have also told people they would see them again my line of work is a little different than yours but you know my kind well you probably have cleaned statues of us
The shameful part of all of this funeral homes pray on the vulnerable family to upscale a casket,burial vault telling you that the less expensive one will leak but the better ones won't. Now how are you going to know if it leaks or not after some years in the ground covered with dirt ? You're not going to know anything about it. Because you are no longer alive...
There is no sane reason to work a 14 hour day GET A LIFE The family are too dammed lazy to look after their headstones ? Can you please justify the cost of the vault against a plain internment ? must add a HUGE cost What BETTER place?
I'll be back to finish this later; I'm so glad that another video of yours was recommended to me. I watched it, delaying the start to my morning by an hour because I was fascinated. I subbed immediately because I believe that people with integrity are interesting and worth watching and listening to. 🫶🏼
These people know you take care of them, even though they may not be here, they can see your care just from the other side. And they appreciate the little touches that you make, and the care that you take even though it’s a job, you do it well.
Your are a kind gentle man with an incredible work ethic.
So sorry about your friend Kacey. She lives forever in the hearts and minds of those that remember her.
Grande y negro y negro como está
Hola buenas noches como está
Jajaja no me acuerdo de ti podría enviar el
Bien gracias lo que pasa
My dad’s career ended when he got pinned under a vault lid on a snowy Chicago Day.
Thank you for the dedication you and fellow employees put into your job.

Thank you for making these videos and the respect that you do to each grave. My wife died December 14 2022 this helps.
I like the music in the background of the videos I find it relaxing 🧘
When I first moved to the Houston area in 2013, I worked for Wilbert for about a year. You are clearly more caring in you work...well done sir!
God bless you for your care and compassion.
Thank You 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
God Bless you
God ? really ha ha ha ha
God bless you and the work that you do❤
You are simply a amazing individual sir. I am sorry about your friend and your friends mom. I am more than positive that kaceys family was glad to see you there helping putting her to rest in her final resting place. A known friendly face always is peaceful during these time god bless you
You are an amazing person. May you receive everything you want in this beautiful, life.
You really go out your way for friends and family to clean their tomb. 😊
Love the paw prints on the stone. She must have been a dog lover.
I love your videos❤
You are a amazing human being caring for other families in their time of needs loss of a loved one
I was going to be cremated but watching your videos have made me rethink this decision seeing you have so much care in this and the vault process. Thank you for your care
The preacher who was at my Mom's funeral shared the poem about the dash. It was so comforting.
Well done, smart man, I like the video,❤
Beautiful work!
Hi - I just wanted to congratulate you on the baby on the way and I am sorry about your index finger - hope it heals okay.
I am a preacher and have preached several funerals for Christians and non-Christians. That dash in the middle means a lot. I appreciate all that you do. First started watching you on Instagram. Thank you.

You make me wish I was working with you. Good job, mate.
I wish I would have known the information you have shared when we buried my grandmother in California. We were told that we couldn’t stay behind to watch her be lowered.

Good job I always wanted to see that Process

You do a good job when it comes to anything u have to do.
Realy important what you said there about taking pride and honour in your work, not all understand that.

Congratulations on your baby whos comong also wish i can help with being a vault man
I'm sure I saw a video just this like 2 weeks ago. Another channel. I used to work in the industry/Sweden. Different methods etc. Interesting.
Your videos are an incredible insight on this tough job. I would be curious if possible to also include the final tear down and possible fill backing in of the grave from the gravedigger itself?
My Dad worked for American Wilbert in Broadview and Des Plaines, Illinois. Towards the end of his 30 years there he did delivery and set up.
Sure I said it on another video, but was glad I was allowed to watch my grandma be lowered last year.
Indo mean this in respect, but found the lady who was buried in this video on findagrave and she passed only 9 days before this video released. May.she rest in peace.
Outstanding cleaning of the headstones. Good work on getting the vaults ready. You show how much pride you have in your work.
Oh Wow, Kacey was born a Month Before My daughter....and passed on MY BD. 😢
I think you're a genuine good bastard mate. They're getting few and far between nowadays.

Are you employed by the cemetery or an independent contractor?
You do an amazing job.
Thank you for all your wonderfully articulated videos. I live in MA. Do you know if I need insurance to be a headstone cleaner? Thanks.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Your videos are very fascinating and informative. Thank you for shedding light on this process. Where can I find the D2 biological cleaner? 1:57
Great video. Please be careful with sanding concrete and the concrete dust produced. This can be dangerous to your health.
Are all graves that tight to the neighboring grave where the vault butts right up to it like in the video?
I lost my father when I was 9. His headstone is nowhere near as fancy as the ones you’ve cleaned. But there is damage on it that was caused by a mower. Is that something that should be fixed by the memorial park?
How can I hire you to clean a few headstones in Lafayette, IN
And here I thought those were solid bronze, it was paint. Who would have known?
we have ones that are solid. Wilbert bronze is what those are.
its honorable to work with the deceased while i know peoples faith differ's i do think while the mechanical body shuts down that their spirit lives on otherwise we would not have memories i dunno about you the ongoing joke in these parts is when the dead rise how they are going to get out of these vaults?
where im at there is who knows how many remains are in these mountains
i live on land with a family cemetery very common but i think i would lose it when people start walking down these forest covered hills
i have comforted family with humor it helps so much with grief if you find out a little about the persons character
i have also told people they would see them again
my line of work is a little different than yours but you know my kind well you probably have cleaned statues of us
❤❤❤😅
Where can you buy D2 biological cleaner?
The shameful part of all of this funeral homes pray on the vulnerable family to upscale a casket,burial vault telling you that the less expensive one will leak but the better ones won't. Now how are you going to know if it leaks or not after some years in the ground covered with dirt ? You're not going to know anything about it. Because you are no longer alive...
Do you go to Iowa or cremation
Not to insult what you do or your business but I think it’s just a terrible needless waste of money just to stick all that in the ground.
Va a ir a trabajar a su casa
John Deere? What about Massey Ferguson?
What a crock
There is no sane reason to work a 14 hour day
GET A LIFE
The family are too dammed lazy to look after their headstones ?
Can you please justify the cost of the vault against a plain internment ? must add a HUGE cost
What BETTER place?
I'll be back to finish this later; I'm so glad that another video of yours was recommended to me. I watched it, delaying the start to my morning by an hour because I was fascinated.
