burial vault
A burial vault is a protective structure or container placed inside a grave to hold a casket, designed to prevent the collapse of earth in a grave and avoid any disturbances due to weather or weight of soil. It is usually made out of concrete, steel, or other durable materials. This is different from the coffin or casket itself, and is used to ensure the longevity of the burial site.

Burial vault
A burial vault is a structural underground tomb. It is a stone or brick-lined underground space or 'burial' chamber for the interment of a dead body or bodies. They were originally and are still often vaulted and usually have stone slab entrances. They are often privately owned and used for specific family or other groups, but usually stand beneath a public religious building, such as a church, or in a churchyard or cemetery. A crypt may be used as a burial vault.
