I have not read all the replies to this thread...but I have checked on this stuff alil.
This is what I got from a person from the TV newsmedia here in Atlanta.
"I wanted to let you know I did some checking and found out there is a legitimate explanation and it has nothing to do with FEMA. What you see, are
in fact, burial vaults. 50-thousand of them. They’re made by a company called Vantage, which is based in Covington. I have pasted a link to their
website. Please check it out. I spoke with the company’s owner/president. He says FEMA has nothing to do with it. It is a business, and they are
storing those vaults for customers. I hope this helps! Thank you very much for your interest, and for letting us know about it!
"
I contacted the Vantage products corp....asking them simply the price of the "Basic Ultima" vault.
They did not give me a price and they said they do not sale them to "consumers".....their email also had this at the bottom
"The information contained in this e-mail is intended for the personal and confidential use of the individual named above and others who have been
specifically authorized to receive this information. All of this information is privileged and confidential. "
Here is Vantage product's website:
vantageproducts.com...
I was not able to get a price from the company.
However I was able to find two companies using the products.....
Here is a site with the prices:
www.lanememorialgardens.com/pdf/lanememorialgardens.com_cemetery_prices.pdf
