A burial vault is a lined and sealed outer receptacle that houses the
casket. It protects the casket from the weight of the earth and heavy
maintenance equipment that will pass over the grave. It also helps resist water
and preserves the beauty of the cemetery or memorial park by preventing the
ground from settling.
Lined vaults are designed to protect the
deceased and the casket against the entrance of any water or foreign grave
elements. Professional installation and set-up is included in the prices
listed within the City of Winnipeg.
