Doric Products, Inc., a leading manufacturer of burial vaults and memorial products, proudly marks its 70th anniversary this year, celebrating a legacy built on innovation, integrity, and a business model unlike any other in funeral service.
Founded in 1955 by a small group of vault professionals in Lexington, Kentucky, Doric was born from a shared vision to elevate the quality and durability of concrete burial products. Today, Doric continues to set the standard for engineering excellence, offering a full line of steel-reinforced concrete vaults designed to withstand the pressures of interment while honoring the lives of those laid to rest.
What sets Doric apart in the vault industry is its unique structure: the company is led entirely by licensed burial vault dealers. This dealer-driven management model ensures that strategic decisions are made by those who understand the business from the ground up—professionals who work directly with grieving families and funeral service providers. It’s a structure that reinforces Doric’s commitment to family values, community service, and leadership.
At the heart of Doric’s success is its nationwide network of independent, family-owned dealers. These businesses are supplied with certified materials and supported with the tools and resources needed to serve their communities with compassion and professionalism. Doric’s dealer-led management team guarantees that leadership reflects the values and dedication of those who deliver peace of mind every day.
Doric’s product offerings continue to evolve with the needs of the industry. In addition to its flagship concrete vaults, Doric provides the Ambassador lightweight urn vaults and the Iris infant and youth vaults—now available in a 36” model. The company has also introduced columbaria to meet the growing demand for cremation options, and its Classic Metal Vaults division offers durable and dignified metal burial solutions.
“For seventy years, Doric has remained true to its founding principles,” said Jim Wiens, president of Doric Products, Inc. “Our dealer-led model isn’t just a management structure — it’s a philosophy that keeps us connected to the families we serve and the funeral professionals who support them.”
As Doric looks to the future, its commitment to quality, innovation, and dealer empowerment remains stronger than ever.
