Cemetery Equipment Made in the U.S.A.

Before a family arrives for a graveside service, cemetery crews have already done the work that makes the day run smoothly. They’ve identified the correct lot, checked the ground, prepared the site, and arranged a setting suited to the service. Reliable cemetery equipment matters at every step.

Holland Supply manufactures many cemetery products in Holland, Michigan, and serves cemeteries, funeral homes, vault dealers, and cremation providers across the United States. 

Nearly all of our products are American made. Our high-quality cemetery equipment can support the work behind both traditional burial and cremation services.

1. Casket Handling & Graveside Service

Lowering devices are central to a traditional burial, helping cemetery teams manage the casket’s descent during a graveside service. The Frigid Master Lowering Device is designed for everyday heavy-duty use and is available with or without placer arms for positioning the casket. 

For funeral homes and cemeteries comparing high-quality products, the important questions include capacity, setup requirements, and compatibility with existing equipment.

Other equipment to review:

• Church trucks for transporting and positioning caskets.
• Casket biers and pedestals for presentation before interment.
• Bier pins for securing caskets during hearse transport.
• Graveside chairs for guest seating, plus casket carts for casket transport and positioning.
• Graveside drapes for a finished presentation around the lowering device.
• Straps and slings selected for the intended handling task.

2. Graveside Setup & Ground Protection

Tents and canopies help establish a sheltered setting for outdoor funeral services. Holland Supply’s 15′ × 15′ Aluminum Roll Around Tent combines an aluminum frame, wheeled design, and fabric top for a movable graveside setup. It’s manufactured in Holland, Michigan and made in the U.S.A. 

When selecting well-made products for repeated use, consider the tent’s dimensions, mobility, and suitability for your site.

3. Monument & Vault Handling

Tombstone jacks give crews a dedicated tool for lifting and leveling monuments. Holland Supply’s Tombstone Jack is made in America and designed for single-person operation on appropriate jobs. It offers an alternative to using heavy equipment for certain monument adjustments. 

Before choosing a system, confirm the monument’s weight, the required configuration, and operating instructions. Durable materials alone do not replace proper equipment selection and handling.

Other equipment to review:

• Setting bars for monument positioning, and U-bars for supporting burial vaults above ground during graveside services.
• Monument blocks for monument leveling and setting work.
• Setting compound for applicable monument installations.
• Burial vault handling equipment for moving, supporting, and positioning vaults.

4. Mausoleum & Memorialization – stopped here

Urn vaults support ground interment of cremated remains, making them an important part of a cemetery’s memorialization inventory. The Fortress Urn Vault uses durable ABS plastic and tongue-and-groove construction, with sealant included. Its burgundy velour-lined interior adds a finished presentation, while optional risers accommodate taller urns. 

Remember, it’s important to confirm the urn’s dimensions and cemetery requirements before selecting a vault.

Holland Supply’s Stainless Steel Lot Markers are available in 3½-inch and 4½-inch diameters, with numbering for layout and installation. Crews can locate the stainless steel markers with a metal detector when they become covered.
