Burial Vaults are used to protect the casket from the elements and stresses that are incurred through time. Because many cemeteries utilize heavy equipment in the maintenance of their grounds, they may require an outer burial container.

What is a burial vault?
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 Doric burial vault is one of the best ways to protect the casket and to achieve a strong, lasting way to honor the deceased.

What requires a burial vault?
Most cemeteries require families selecting ground burial to use an outer container to protect the casket. Doric burial vaults exceed cemetery requirements for a permanent outside enclosure to house the casket. They are designed with the strength to endure the stress caused by the weight of the earth and heavy cemetery equipment passing over the grave. Doric burial vaults protect the casket from the elements and allow it to function properly.
