Abstract: A casket assembly of the casket surround type in which the casket surround includes a movable floor and an adjustment mechanism for raising and lowering the floor or tilting the floor. The floor is raised during the viewing process to provide an optimal viewing position and is lowered following the viewing process so that the vault can be sealed and the sealed vault may be transported within the casket surround to the burial site. The casket surround comprises a simple core structure to which the various components of exterior ornamentation are removably secured so that damaged components may be readily and selectively removed and replaced. One end wall of the casket surround is hinged adjacent its lower edge so that it may be pivoted to a lowered, open position to facilitate insertion or removal of the vault from the casket surround.
