Hi. My name is Andrew. I am an ex-mortuary attendant and studing in mortuary science. When you go to a funeral home and are either making pre-arragements or at-need, ask to see a small model or picture of the vault you are going to purchase. When it rains, dirt can collect water and lift a vault and casket out of its grave. The holes on the bottom of cement containers prevent the vault from doing so. Cement containers are the most common used vaults because of dependability and price. If you are dissatisfied, contact your funeral home and ask to make a change. Prices will be different from $600- $10,000 depending on the outer burial vault.
