Wilbert Funeral Service Careers in Broadview, IL

In 1880, at the young age of 18, German immigrant Leo Haase created L.G. Haase Manufacturing Company to make concrete products – including the very first concrete burial vaults in the United States. At that time, burial vaults were built of brick right in the graves at cemeteries. Leo thought they should have covers and began building two-piece concrete vaults, precursors of the vaults Wilbert manufactures today.
