  • Publication number: 20230175282
    Abstract: A burial vault system and burial vault kit arrangement include a first pair of lateral sides; a second pair of lateral sides; a base having a length and a width configured to releasably receive the first pair of lateral sides at opposing ends of the length and configured to releasably receive the second pair of lateral sides at opposing ends of the width; the second pair of lateral sides each defining an inner surface, for a dual capacity system the inner surface defining at least one channel extending partially along respective heights of the lateral sides; and at least one crossbar element configured received within the channel to span to brace the second pair of lateral sides to resist compression and support shelf and a casket. A lid further includes lid support cross members to prevent deformation, affixed to the lid during assembly. A method of assembly is also disclosed. A kit assembly of the burial vault is presented.

  • Patent number: 8973226
    Abstract: A concrete burial vault system having a layered construction of castable material encased in an inner liner and an outer casing of a thermoplastic polymer such as polypropylene utilizes the liner and casing as a mold for the concrete and enables monolithic molds with self-supporting securing tabs. This system allows the liner and casing to be manufactured at a central location and then transported to a plurality of use locations to be filled with concrete. The manufacturing method supports the system and provides an assembly advantage.
