Outer Burial Containers
State law does not require that you buy a container to surround the casket 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.
Our cemetery requires the use of a grave liner or burial vault manufactured from either concrete or an approved metal for all casketed and cremated remains burials. Separate charges are assessed by the cemetery for setting of the unit in the grave and for placing the lid.
Lid Placement $ 40
Setting Vault in Grave $ 50
