Abstract: A lawn crypt system and method in which at least one lawn crypt is buried at a burial site and covered with a covering layer of artificial material such as artificial turf. In a cemetery, an array of crypts are buried in a single hole and an artificial turf layer extends over all of the crypts, and is bonded to the array at least around its periphery. At each interment, a cut is made in the artificial turf around the lid of the lawn crypt at the burial site, the lid and cut section of turf is lifted off the crypt, the casket is placed into the crypt, and the lid and cut section of turf are replaced over the crypt.

Abstract: A double depth vault has a floor and opposing spaced side walls and end walls forming a burial enclosure. An intermediate floor panel is mountable in the enclosure at a predetermined location spaced above the floor to divide the vault into a lower burial chamber and an upper burial chamber. Pairs of aligned vertical guide grooves are provided in opposing walls of the vault to extend from the open end towards the floor, terminating at the desired intermediate floor position. Opposite edges of the intermediate floor member facing the grooved walls of the vault each have at least two spaced projecting pins for engagement in the respective guide grooves as the intermediate floor member is lowered into the vault. The closed ends of the guide grooves provide stops for engagement by the respective pins to support the intermediate floor member at the desired height in the vault.
