Abstract: A lawn crypt (10) comprises a rectangular array of chambers (22). Each chamber (22) is defined by opposing side panels (34, 46) and opposing end panels (52, 64). A top panel (70) serves to close the chamber and is supported by the side panels (34, 46) and the end panels (52, 64). Each chamber (22) is divided into an upper vault (102) and a lower vault (104) by a horizontal divider (100). The side, end and top panels are fabricated of reinforced concrete such that the crypt (10) can carry the substantial burden of heavy mechanized equipment. By using heavy equipment the operations of opening and closing grave sites can be done with a minimal amount of labor and time.
