CASKETS Q. Is a casket/vault required by law?

Many cemeteries require the use of some type of rigid container. While New Jersey law does not require that a deceased person be buried in a casket, practically speaking, transporting remains that are not enclosed in some type of container is difficult. Regarding a vault, New Jersey does not require that caskets be placed in vaults. Cemeteries usually require them in an attempt to prevent the grounds from sinking some time in the future.
