Editor’s note: If you think all of this is simply conspiracy mongering, consider the fact our government indeed repeatedly plans for widespread “bio-terrorist” attacks, most notably Operation Dark Winter, staged nearly three months before the attacks of September 11, 2001, and the subsequent anthrax attacks beginning on September 18, 2001. As well, consider the national-level domestic and international TOPOFF exercises, primarily involving biological and chemical attacks.
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.
Polyguard Burial Vaults are now manufactured using an injection moulding process, and constructed of non-biodegradable, water and chemical resistant polymers.
So, they’re not coffins, but liners in which coffins would be placed before burial.
I did some more research to determine if the government did business with PolyGuard Vaults. Indeed, the U.S. Veterans Administration has been buying Burial Vaults from PolyGuard Vaults for years. Use fedspending.org to look up the contracts. Click the Contracts tab and type in Polyguard.
You can go back to the year 2000. When you use the Level of Detail: Complete (all information) setting, this will show more detail. In the “Contract Description” fields you’ll see: THERMOPLASTIC GRAVELINERS. So, it seems to make sense that the VA would be buying these things…
Here’s a reference with regard to casket burials in a cemetery in Hawaii. This is from the Aloha Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America:
Casket burials now require Polyguard Burial Vault at a cost of $220 for family members and no charge for the Retiree, Veteran or Active Duty personnel. The vaults were required to prevent the burial site from settling and collapsing following the burial.
Anyone looking into this situation in Georgia might find the VA contracts and just think, “Yep, the VA bought them, nothing to see here.” An interesting question would be: How many units did the VA get? I haven’t been able to determine that. If we knew that, we’d be able figure out roughly how many casket burials were happening at VA run cemeteries vs. how many Burial Vaults were ordered. If there was a large difference, well, we would have a pretty good idea of where the extra units went…
Where are they?
They are in a field near Madison, Georgia, just off of Lion’s Club Road and next to (as far as I can tell) a Fowler Flemister Concrete plant. See coordinates: +33° 33? 57.36?, -83° 29? 6.26?.
I’ll host a local screen shot of the map above, just in case Google decides to disappear it.
Here’s a video taken at the site:
How many?
I tried to figure out a way to count them, but I couldn’t do it. I felt like my estimates could easily be off by an order of magnitude. To say that it’s tens of thousands is probably conservative.
Who owns the land?
I haven’t been able to figure that out. The legend that I keep running across is that a private individual leased the land to FEMA. I suppose that’s possible, or it could be absolute nonsense. I don’t know. With all of the U.S. Government’s vast land holdings and facilities, FEMA leased this field from someone to store these Burial Vaults??? Again, I suppose that anything is possible.
If these Burial Vaults do belong to FEMA, that would be very interesting. I went through all of the government contracts with PolyGuard going back to 2000 and FEMA hasn’t done any (on the books) business with them. Since 2000, the government contracts that went to PolyGuard were all awarded by the VA.
Why?
That’s the question. I have no idea and I haven’t found any good guesses either. The consensus on the foil sites is that these Burial Vaults are to be used in the aftermath of some kind of false flag attack or holocaust/final solution situation. Initially, I thought the same thing, but when I thought about it more carefully, wouldn’t FEMA just stockpile body bags?
The anonymous comments on some sites say that it’s probably related to contingency planning for a natural disaster. Again, wouldn’t FEMA just stockpile body bags?
One thing that I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere is how much money is represented by this Burial Vault stockpile. The newsletter above puts the cost at $220. I have not been able to determine what the government pays, per unit, but let’s not even assume that $220 is the cost. Let’s say it’s just $100 each. At that rate, ten thousand units would be worth $1 million. So, there’s easily several million dollars worth of inventory sitting in that field.
To the imbeciles who suggest that this is some sort of routine private inventory for a mortuary business (yes, I have seen people suggesting that): There is A) no way that a mortuary company would spend millions of dollars for so many of these at once and B) no way that a mortuary company would leave them sitting unguarded in a field for years.
I’d love for someone to provide a This-Is-Normal-There’s-Nothing-To-See-Here explanation, but so far, I haven’t been able to find such an explanation.
One last thing: This isn’t a new story
Infowars just posted this story and that’s where I saw it, but the earliest reference that I can find to this was from 2006. ATS has a thread from December 2007 that covers this situation.

Please people, stop with the holocaust craqp and let’s look at this realistically. There are hundreds of thousands of veteran’s across the USA. Many of which are pretty aged, WWII and Vietnam come to mind. The government gets to bury these folks. They don’t do it in body bags. In addtion to the upcoming life expectancy end for many of these vets, disasters do and will occur. IE.: Hurricanes, earthquakes, and yes terrorist attacks. For pity sake stop making something out of nothing, there is enough real crap happening for us to fret over, VET Affairs bought these vaults, there is no consipracy for mass murder or huge terror attacks. Jesus, no wonder our kids are scared to death. Freaks making up stuff just to spread fear and panic among our people. Instead of making shit up why don’t you put some time into figuring out how best to protect ourselves from the real threats….apathy among American’s is our biggest threat. By the way I am a retired cop and work for Military and VET Affairs now in communication security. I don’t believe a word coming out of politicians mouths, I know what I see and hear for myself and this stuff you are blogging is crap!

Interesting criticism of the article but also implausible and under-researched. It is not economical to centralize vault fabrication (i.e., Polyguard and Co.). Consequently, there are quite literally thousands of manufacturers/fabricators located throughout the continental United States.
Example: A veteran dies in Portsmouth, NH. The Department of Veterans Affairs does indeed foot a portion of the funeral bill, but it is the responsibility of the Mortuary to both arrange a receptacle (Vault, usually concrete or Precast Terrazzo–very rarely airtight polymer composite vaults) and 99 times out of 100 this will be secured from a manufacturer in the area (i.e., Wilber, Acme or North Shore), not shipped from a Concrete Facility in Madison, GA.
The presence of no fewer than 500,000 stockpiled polymer composite burial vaults in one location is unprecedented and extraordinarily difficult to explain, unless of course, Madison, GA is home to 500,000 former veterans. It is not.
Anomalies like this naturally pique the interest of the public, as they should. From a logistical standpoint, if indeed one wished to distribute large numbers of vaults very quickly, Polyguard would be the obvious choice: non-biodegradable, non-porous, and unaffected by minerals or chemicals found in the soil; lightweight and relatively inexpensive. This particular cache in Madison, GA may also be regarded as a remainder–leftovers, as the Polyguard Hercules Airseal Vault (pictured) may also double as a general-purpose storage locker (i.e., weapons caches). The possibilities are truly staggering, but the most likely explanation is related to a preparedness posture.
According to Department of Agriculture and Veterans Affairs records (http://www.fedspending.org/fpds/fpds.php?fiscal_year=&company_name=Polyguard&sortby=r&datype=T&reptype=r&database=fpds&detail=4&submit=GO), the Federal Government is a repeat customer of Polyguard and Co. (Parent Company: Rocky Mountain Products), buying units in bulk beginning in fiscal year 2000. It is important to mention that there are no historical precedents for the stockpiling of burial vaults by a government agency prior to fiscal year 2000. The principal place of performance congressional district for said transactions is Wyoming. No public records related to reallocation to GA exist.
Further Information: http://www.fedspending.org/fpds/fpds.php?fiscal_year=&company_name=Polyguard&sortby=r&datype=T&reptype=r&database=fpds&detail=4&submit=GO
The parent company through whom Polyguard and Co. products are secured is depopulation proponent Roger J. Wendell’s Rocky Mountain Products (http://www.rogerwendell.com/).

First of all, these aren’t coffins. They are burial vaults.
A burial vault (Model Name: Graveliner) is a sturdy box designed to protect the coffin inside of it. The body is placed within the coffin, which is then placed inside the vault.
Secondly, The company who makes the vaults pictured in the video is Vantage products located in Covington, Georgia. Not Polyguard Vaults of Alabama.
See for yourself:
Vantage Company Link: http://vantageproducts.com/Graveliner.html
The location, where the vaults are stored, is Madison Georgia. The location is about 25 miles east on interstate 20 from the manufacture, with the majority of that travel time being a straight shot down interstate 20.
The units are large and even when stacked, they take up a good amount of space. A large area is required to store the stock.
The death rate in America is 8.27 per 1,000.
There are roughly 310 million people in the US.
That’s 2,563,700 deaths in this country per year.
If the company who makes this particular vault, Vantage Products, has 20% market share, than you would need to produce about 500,000 per year.
While burial vaults are not required by FEDERAL LAW, most cemeteries REQUIRE a burial vault.
My own personal conclusion: Advantage Products has 20% market share or higher of the Burial Vault market. They store their stock at a location close to their facility, close to the interstate which aids in transportation of the stock.

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, according to government opinion, and the establishment of American concentration camps, some of which are currently functional, according to these sources.
“Yep, these are cheap plastic coffins. Hundreds of thousands of them. Don’t believe it? Why coffins? Why in the middle of Georgia?” the entry “Half a Million Plastic Coffins?” on Alex Jones’ Infowars.com, dated July 18, states. “Well, apparently the Government is expecting a half million people to die relatively soon, and the Atlanta Airport is a major airline traffic hub, probably the biggest in the country, which means Georgia is a prime base to conduct military operations and coordination. It is also the home of the CDC, the Center for Disease Control. I don’t want to alarm anyone, but usually you don’t buy 500,000 plastic coffins ‘just in case something happens,’ you buy them because you know something is going to happen. These air tight seal containers would be perfect to bury victims of plague or biological warfare in, wouldn’t they?”
While the origins of the theories are unclear, there are blog postings that date back to December 2007 (AboveTopSecret.com), although the majority of postings have come within the latter half of July.
And, according to Vantage Products Corporation Vice President of Operations Michael Lacey, that’s exactly when the calls started pouring in.
“It’s been going on for quite a while, about a week,” Lacey said.
Lacey maintains that the theories regarding the property, and what’s on it, aren’t quite accurate.
The “coffins” aren’t coffins at all, according to Lacey. Instead, they are burial vaults, “the outer container for caskets,” Lacey said, placed in the ground before the coffin to protect the coffin and maintain level ground above.
There are currently 50,000 of these burial vaults on the property, according to Lacey. As the vaults were placed on the site around 1997 or 1998, there may have been as many as 70,000 or 80,000 to begin with.
“It’s nowhere near the quantity they talk about on the Internet,” Lacey said.
This quantity of burial vaults, Vantage’s Standard Air Seal model in black, also the least expensive model and the most in-demand, was made to cater to what Lacey calls the funeral industry’s “pre-need.” This “pre-need” occurs when people make arrangements for their funeral before they actually pass away, so that the family doesn’t have to go through the perceived stress of making the arrangements. When these arrangements are made, the products are paid for; obviously, though, they are not yet needed.
So, Vantage stores the product until the person dies, and the product is needed.
Further, pallets of the burial vaults are moved truckloads at a time, as there is space for a palate at the
Contrary to the beliefs of the theorists, then, the burial vaults aren’t owned by the government, or FEMA. Instead, they’re owned by individuals, or not yet sold.
“They’re not owned by any one individual, company or the government,” Lacey said.
Further, Vantage leases the land, located at 1200 Madison Industrial Boulevard, from Conyers Welding & Supply and has for four to five years, a fact confirmed by Conyers Welding & Supply. Conyers Welding & Supply took over the lease when the property was purchased from Robert Usury in 2000. Usury purchased the property in 1989, according to information provided by the Morgan County Tax Assessor’s Office and the Morgan County Online Public Property Portal.
The answer as to why the vaults are being stored in Madison? To put it simply, the Covington-based manufacturer got a good deal close to home.
“It was the most cost-effective place,” Lacey said.
