By definition of the National
Concrete Burial Vault Association, a concrete burial vault is a lined and sealed
burial receptacle which performs all the functions of the concrete grave
liner. In addition, it is designed and constructed to reduce the risk of
the intrusion of exterior elements. In other words, it allows the casket
to function properly while protecting it from elements outside the vault.
A burial vault is one of the best ways to protect the casket and to achieve a
strong, lasting way to honor the deceased.
