If you plan for a burial with a cremation urn, most cemeteries require that it be placed into an in-ground vault. An in-ground vault is a sturdy, sealed outer receptacle box designed to house and protect the cremation urn. While the urn serves as the inner enclosure, the in-ground vault serves as the protective, outer enclosure.
Our in-ground vaults are made of concrete, plastic or metal, and depending on the type of material, may be resistant against water and other elements. In-ground vaults keep the weight of the ground and cemetery maintenance equipment from crushing the cremains and help prevents the ground above from sinking. This simple, yet effective solution also serves as a deterrent to insects and burrowing animals.
Packing materials such as cotton or plastic bubble wrap may be used to keep the urn secure and from moving inside the vault and being damaged.
Choosing an in-ground vault is a personal decision and possibly an option for you. Let one of our Sales Representatives help you in finding what suits your needs and budget.
