HISTORY:
In 1930 Wilbert invented the asphalt-lined concrete burial vault in a quest to make a water-proof vault. This was inspired by a technique used by the ancient Egyptians to line crypts to give them extra protection from ground weight and subsoil elements.  It worked! By 1938 Wilbert had become the world's largest manufacturer of asphalt and concrete burial vaults.
