What is a grave liner or burial vault, and what purpose does it serve?
A grave liner / burial vault is a container that surrounds a casket in a grave. The vault may be constructed of various heavy materials and, once in place, the casket is lower into it and sealed inside. Usually, state or local laws do not require their use, but we can advise you once we know which cemetery you’ll be using. Some cemeteries will require a burial vault or grave liner be used because it prevents the ground around the grave from sinking.
