What is a vault and do I need one?
A vault is an outer burial container that encompasses and protects a casket or urn when buried. Caskets over time will not be able to support the weight of the earth and cemetery equipment which will result in continuous settling and sinking of the grave. As a result, most if not all, cemeteries require a vault to ease their maintenance duties. All cemeteries in the Toole County Cemetery District require a vault.
