Probably some years after the Second World War. Before that, usually rather expensive glass sealer caskets were used if a "protective" casket was requested. After the war, the Batesville Casket Company pioneered the use of reasonably priced gasket sealer caskets.

Are coffins placed in concrete containers before burial?
Not always and never in countries where the graves are used over again. In the US the practice of placing the caskets in concrete (or metal) containers is very common although there is no law requiring it. Many cemeteries demand grave liners or burial vaults (hermetically sealed grave liners) to prevent the grave from caving in when heavy machinery is used on the lawn or when wooden caskets deteriorate.
