The outer burial
container is a protective container in which the casket is placed inside
at the time of burial. Though not required by law in all states, most
cemeteries do require some type of outer container. This requirement
can be met by your choice of either a concrete graveliner or an actual
reinforced burial vault.
The concrete
graveline in an unlined, concrete box with drainage holes allowing
ground water to escape through the bottom. The concrete graveliner does
not seal. The cover of the graveliner "sits" over the top of the base of
the unit.
The reinforced
burial vault is a unit that has a coated exterior and a reinforced
interior. Burial vaults are reinforced in one of two ways: with durable
plastic or with a combination of durable plastic and metal. They
provide the long-lasting protection needed to resist the elements over
time. There are three levels of reinforced burial vaults: premium
protection triple-reinforced, standard protection double reinforced and
basic protection single-reinforced.
High-performance
plastics add strength to each burial vault. For additional strength and
beauty, each double-reinforced burial vault includes an interior lining
of bronze, copper or stainless steel.
Many families
select a burial vault for the additional "peace of mind" it brings. A
reinforced burial vault provides long-lasting protection needed to
resist elements and physical conditions including ground water and
weight from heavy equipment. The burial vault will protect the casket
and keep the ground intact, thus preserving the eternal beauty of the
cemetery or memorial park.
Naturally, you want
the best protection available for your loved ones. Years after you
select a reinforced burial vault, you will know that you have made the
right decision by choosing the highest level of protection. Burial
vaults can be personalized with name, date of birth and date of death.
Adding an accenting emblem, denoting religious or civic affiliation,
special graphics, etc. will give your burial vault special meaning with
honor to the life of your loved one. |
