It depends on the quality of the casket. Most modern American casket won't.

The former Belmont Casket Company of Columbus (OH), for example, placed advertisements showing one of their steel caskets with some 50 bags of cement on top in order to demonstrate the capacity of a Belmont casket to withstand the weight an pressure of earth in a grave without the need of an outer burial container to prevent the grave form caving in.

What is purpose of mounds on graves?

When the grave is dug all of the dirt removed from the hole will go back into the hole when the casket is placed in the grave. The casket will displace the soil removed from that spot so you will have a mound. So the mound really doesn't serve any purpose at all. The only way not to have a mound is to remove the excess soil from the grave site.
