Traditional In-Ground Burial Lots:

Paxtang Cemetery has well over 12,000 available lots on the

premises. However, for those who are looking for something

a little different, Paxtang Cemetery has just completed the

design of our Church Gardens. The Church Garden design

is very unique to the Central PA area. Every plot touches a

mulched garden of ornamental trees, perennial flowers and

bushes. This unique design also offers many options for

private family estates and memorials.

Paxtang Cemetery offers free grave plots for U.S. Veterans.

Burial Vaults: Paxtang Cemetery requires the use of a cave proof outer burial container for use in all in-ground burials traditional and cremation. Our most highly recommended vaults are all non-porous polypropylene vaults. Polypropylene is used in many familiar items such as airplanes, cars, helmets, and pipes due to its great strength and light weight.

Hercules is our standard air seal, non-porous vault. This vault is stronger than concrete vaults (8900 lbs psi) and is non-biodegradable. The science of this vault design works similar to an upside down glass in water. Even if the seal broke for some unknown reason, water could not rise up into the container/vault because of the air surrounding the casket. This vault can come in white or black and can be customized with pictures.

Atlas is our top seal vault. It is also a non-porous vault and is again stronger than competing concrete vaults that have a liner (12,100 psi) which offers the added protection for the elements that many families desire. This vault can come in white or black and can be customized with pictures as well.

We also offer concrete and concrete lined vaults should a customer still prefer them.
