Most cemeteries require the use of either a burial vault or a grave box/grave
liner. Following the graveside service and prior to burial, the casket is placed
in such a burial container. These outer burial containers prevent the sinking
and collapsing of the grave.
Burial vaults are usually made of reinforced concrete. They are also designed
to seal and thereby keep out the elements. Most burial vaults are coated on the
outside with asphalt (prior to being painted), have a tongue and grove sealing
method, and have an additional inner liner. The liners are made from a variety
of products including plastic, fiberglass, and semi-precious metals, such as bronze,
copper and stainless steel. Prior to delivery to the cemetery, each burial vault
is painted on the outside to either match or compliment the casket color.
Grave boxes and grave liners are simple concrete boxes that do not seal, do
not have an inner liner, do not have an asphalt coating on the outside, and are
not painted. A grave box or a grave liner usually meets the minimum requirements
of the cemetery.
