Some cemetery plots can accommodate a vault burial container. This is a receptacle that is lined and fully sealed and holds the casket inside. It serves as a protective barrier for the weight of the earth as well as for heavy maintenance equipment that passes over the top of the earth. When you are considering whether or not you need a vault burial container, there are a few things you can keep in mind.
Is the cemetery a green cemetery?
If the cemetery where the deceased will be interred is a green cemetery, they will most likely not allow for the placement of a vault burial container. This means that you would need to find an alternate plot or a different cemetery ground where you can place this container. Before choosing a cemetery plot, it is helpful to contact them beforehand to find out what their rules and requirements might be.
Is it a requirement?
In some cemetery plots, it is a requirement to have a vault burial container housing the casket. This is something to definitely find out ahead of time so you can be aware of what you need to do. When it comes to finding out about the rules and requirements at your cemetery, simply schedule a meeting with the funeral director who can advise you about what to expect. By taking these steps, you can be well prepared for the funeral planning process.
Extra reinforcement and protection
With a vault burial container, you can give your departed loved one’s casket some extra reinforcement and protection no matter what happens. Even if the surface of the earth receives added pressure from the equipment above, you can feel confident knowing that the casket is always safe.
By taking these points into consideration, you can determine whether or not a vault burial container fits with your funeral plan.
