Most cemeteries require an outer burial container when burying a casket to prevent the grave from collapsing. Without a burial vault, regular maintenance would be required to ensure that the ground remains level. If you are not keen on a burial vault, you will have to find a cemetery that does not require it.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Helps Preserve the Casket:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you expect to move a grave at some point, investing in a burial vault may be useful. While vaults cannot significantly delay decomposition, they can preserve the casket and therefore, be easier to exhume.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Provides Protection:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Burial vaults are lined and sealed, providing protection from the elements and helps the casket resist the downward pressure from heavy maintenance equipment and the earth.
