WHEN BURYING URNS IN A CEMETERY, SHOULD THEY BE PLACED IN ANY TYPE OF BOX OR ENCLOSURE?

When burying cremated remains, most families desire, and some cemeteries require, that the urn be placed inside some type of outer container, or burial vault. Urn vaults are made of the same materials as vaults that are used for caskets. There are urn vaults made of metal, concrete, and fiberglass. Some vaults are lined with stainless steel, copper or bronze for additional protection. Vaults may be personalized, engraved, or designed with a particular theme such as a military vault. A full graveside service, including a tent and chairs, as well as a full automobile procession from the funeral home or church, is always an option.  more
