Thank you for the clarification and I will pass on to my church and love ones. I am the cemetery manager at my church. Good information. Thanks fir this stricken. What solutions do you recommend for peopl who want green burials and wold perfect that the coffin be in contact with the earth and dec,pose naturally.?
Are there bottolmless grave liners? They are often buried deeper and in a special way so when the decomposition takes place, the surface level is undisturbed. Great question! I hope this answered it! We recently used one of the plots for a burial not a cremation and I was charged for a vault. Though you are not legally required to purchase a burial vault or grave liner, most cemeteries require these products.
If you are not interested in purchasing an burial vault or grave liner, consider burying the remains in a green burial ground , which does not require outer burial containers.
For the most part, cemeteries and funeral homes encourage the sale of burial vaults over grave liners. The reason for this seems to be because burial vaults are more expensive than grave liners, and are thus a more profitable sale. However, both burial vaults and grave liners serve the same purpose: to protect the earth around the casket.
Therefore, if you would rather purchase a grave liner than a burial vault, you should not feel pressured to purchase a more expensive vault. Asking for a complete list of burial vault and grave liner prices before you are shown any items may help you make your selection without feeling pressured by the salesperson. If you are interested in purchasing a grave liner and the retailer you are working with only sells burial vaults, consider contacting another retailer.
The big decision when it comes to purchasing an outer burial container is choosing between a vault or a liner. If cost is your main consideration then a liner is probably your best bet.
If you have concerns about the degradation of the casket and money is not an issue then a vault will be more attractive to you. High end vaults can be quite ornamental and may have special features such as personalization. The area is not subjected to massive cave-ins, giant boulders, or jack-hammering neighboring burial containers to make room for new burials. These types of problems even cause damage to burial vaults.
Also, the price of the lawn crypt is usually included in the cost of the burial lot, so the cemetery is less greedy on recouping its burial container investment.
Perhaps you recall some the more distasteful photographs released by the major news wire services portraying the damage done to many cemeteries in the wake of the Mississippi River floods. Even after the forceful washing away of the landfill, although completely exposed, the lawn crypts remained intact. And now, a brief discussion on burial vaults. The cover seals onto the vault with a strip of tar methodically sealed into the grooves.
The down side of burial vaults is that they are subject to all the problems previous mentioned. If you do prefer burial, I highly recommend a lawn crypt over burial liners and vaults. It costs about the same as buying two burial liners, but it is a much superior product.
