Burial Containers
OUTER BURIAL CONTAINERS (Often referred to as Burial Vaults)
In most areas of the country, state or local law does not require that you buy a container to surround the casket or urn in the grave. However, many cemeteries require that you have such a container so that the grave will not sink in. Either a grave liner or a burial vault will satisfy these requirements.
