In the US, a burial vault is not required by law. Oftentimes it is required by cemetery regulations because a vault prevents the grave to cave in as a result of a deterioration of the casket and / or the use of heavy cemetery maintenance machinery.
In the Vault was created in 1925.
The formal name of the vault at the cemetery where they store bodies during the winter when the ground is too frozen to bury people is a crypt.
In the US, there is no law requiring the casket to be placed in a vault. But many cemeteries make such request because they want to avoid the caving in of graves as a result of either the deterioration of the casket or the use of heavy machinery for maintaing the cemetery.
The main benefit is for the cemetery: a vault prevents the grave from caving in as a result of a breakdown of the casket and / or the use of heavy cemetery maintenance machinery. In addition to that, a - hermetically sealing - vault may provide the relatives with the peace of mind that at least for some decades no groundwater and no insects can enter the casket.
