WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GRAVE LINER AND A BURIAL VAULT?
A grave liner is simply an unpainted concrete box, or a set of unpainted concrete slabs which, when put together, surround the casket in the grave. It is not intended to demonstrate any sealed protection at all to the casket and the remains. It is merely an outer container which will satisfy most cemetery requirements. A burial vault, by definition, is a sealed container which will afford some protection to the casket. A burial vault may also have an additional protective liner inside, made of either some synthetic material, or stainless steel, copper, or bronze. Some cemeteries require some kind of vault, perhaps only top seal vaults, either lined or unlined.
