1. Why would I need a vault or a
concrete outer container for a protective casket?

mandate the use of an outer burial containers of any kind, they
allow each cemetery to regulate this issue. Some
cemeteries require at a minimum a concrete box.
Currently, none of the cemeteries in Enid require the use of an
outer burial container i.e. vault or concrete box. Contact
your local cemetery for their requirements.

protects the integrity of the gravesite by reducing the weight of
earth resting on the casket and protects the casket from intrusion
during future excavations.

vault and a concrete box?

protection from air and water intrusion as-well-as protects the
gravesite.
