SELECTING A VAULT

Making funeral arrangements can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Choosing
the necessities, although overwhelming, is easier if you know what you want and how
much you can afford to spend. Learn how to select a burial vault that meets your needs
and fits your budget

Understand that a burial vault is the outer container that protects the casket. Caskets settle
in the ground over time, and heavy equipment from above can shift the ground. The
burial vault is made to withstand the forces that act on the casket to avoid ground
shifting and damage to the casket.

Realize that there are two kinds of burial vaults that vary in price, functionality and the material from which they are made. A grave box is the most basic burial vault. Made
from concrete, grave boxes are unlined and have holes in the bottom to allow water to
flow through freely. The grave box is the most cost effective. The top-of-the-line burial
vault is a lined burial vault. Offering the greatest protection to the casket and surrounding ground, the lined burial vault is the most expensive.
