Outer Burial Containers
State law does not require that you buy a container to surround the casket
in the grave. However, many cemeteries require that you have such a container
so that the grave will not sink in. Either a grave liner or a burial vault
will satisfy these requirements.
Our cemetery requires the use of a grave liner or burial vault manufactured
from either concrete or an approved metal. Separate charges are assessed by
the cemetery for setting of the unit in the grave and for placing the lid.
Lid
Placement $ 40
Setting Vault in Grave $ 50
Setting Oversize Vault in Grave $ 210
Setting Cremation Vault in Grave $ 20
