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.
