Madison vault and internet mystery ‘solved’

.

By Wendell Dawson, Editor, AVOC, Inc

.

As often as I go online and real local and regional news, a local ‘story’ slipped up on me.  I only became aware of the “Madison GA Vault Mystery” when I read the August 11, 2008, issue of the Morgan County Citizen.

.

The article dealt with the field storage of 10,000’s of burial vault liners on Industrial Drive (Lions Club Drive) in south Madison.  It mentioned how the matter had become a national issue with many conspiracy theories about FEMA, CIA and the Federal Government.    Google ‘Madison Georgia’ and the search brings up numerous links to many sites and articles about the large number of vaults along with all kinds of speculation.  Was a major disaster or disease outbreak expected?  

.

It turns out the truth was more simple.    Many folks buy pre-need funeral services in this nation.   The vaults are constructed at a Covington Factory (Vantage Products) and stored on a leased field at Madison.SEE Forum on MySpace

.

Many area residents, like me, probably missed this ongoing mystery and speculation until it was recently explained by the company manufacturing the vaults.

Conspiracy or simply storage?

Theories surface around vaults stored in Madison

.

By Kathryn Purcell, Managing Editor

.
Type in “Madison, GA” under Google’s Blog Search, and it shows up on the first page. Search “Madison, GA” on YouTube, and it’s the first video that shows up. Web sites like Alex Jones’ Infowars.com and AboveTopSecret.com are talking about it.

.

As of late, some of these sources have started to link the government, particularly the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to rows and rows of black, plastic “coffins,” 500,000 to be exact, currently being stored outdoor in a field within the city limits of Madison.

.

Theories abound as to whether these are being stored near a major transportation hub (Atlanta) in an effort by the government to prepare for American victims of biological warfare, or whether they are being stored for a natural, or man-made, disaster. Even more sinister, some of these sources speculate that these “coffins” are part of a conspiracy on the part of the government that involves the institution of martial law, the separation of desirable and non-desirable citizens,…………… SEE REST OF ARTICLE

I have no idea what to make of this one. All of the sites I was able to find that reference this stockpile assume that it has something to do with an upcoming American holocaust and martial law, etc. Again, I have no idea.

.

Let’s try to work trough this one a bit…

.

First of all, what are they?

.

The product is called a “Burial Vault.” They are made by PolyGuard Vaults. Their website describes the product as follows:

.

A Burial Vault is an outside receptacle or container, in which the casket and remains are placed, at the time of burial. This helps to maintain the above ground aesthetics of the grave site.

The property on Lions Club Road in Madison, Georgia is leased by Vantage Products.
.
The product stored on the property are standard burial vaults, please see our web page for information on this product - http://www.vantageproducts.com
.
The majority of cemeteries across the United States require the use of a burial vault when a body is interred. The use of a burial vault, plastic or concrete, is to prevent the collapse of the ground in the cemetery and to protect the casket placed inside.
.
In the funeral and/or death care industry there is a common practice of people making their funeral arrangements prior to death. Many people like to make their own selections for the casket and burial vaults that will be used at the time of their death. Once this selection has been made the local funeral home that has made the arrangements can purchase the burial vault product from Vantage Products and we will store it for them until that person dies.
.
We maintain detailed records of ownership of the products and require a certificate of ownership to be sent to us before products can be released. Additionally, we are annually audited by several states including Georgia to insure that we have all of the products that our records indicate and that are on file with each of the participating states.
.
These products are not owned by any one individual person, company or the government. Additionally, there are only about 50,000 vaults in storage in Madison, no where near the quantity that is being discussed openly on the net.

.
In the United States there are approximately 1,300,000 deaths each year. Of those deaths there are about 900,000 in ground burials preformed every year. Only a small percentage of those people have pre arranged there burial.

.
I hope this has answered you questions. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.
