The advantages of a vault are to keep mud and water out of the casket, and the Casket lasts longger and will not get crunched right away. - DNatureofDTrain

Really other then what you list there is not really any other .Unless your are going to open or move a casket there is really no need for a vault .I did buy a vault for both my parents graves I think they get you because the idea of your loved ones casket breaking at that time hurts .I think later you think about it and preserving a casket forever does not matter as much vaults don't last forever one day they well fail and what difference well it really make ?I think some places require vaults but if not required I don't see the need .

Thanks for sharing. Yes, I do think the imagery does get to people, bodies do not last longer than 30-60 days within the casket either in most cases. I think the important of a vault may only be important in a case of where a loved one was murdered or if there would be possible exhumation later. However, if a family feels more eased and comfortable with it, and have no problem paying I do not see any problem with them having a vault. Take care, - DNatureofDTrain
