This section is included in your selections.

Before a casket is accepted for burial, it must be housed within a concrete vault having fixed top and side panel edge restraints incorporated into the construction and having a strength capable of uniformly withstanding a stress of seven and one-half (7-1/2) pounds per square inch. If a particular type or construction of a vault is rejected by the sexton, the mortician or party utilizing the vault shall bear the burden of proving compliance with the strength requirements of this section. Cremated remains must be placed in a cremation vault made of fiberglass, concrete, or metal with a strength deemed adequate by the sexton. (Ord. 2000-02-002, 2-3-2000; amd. Ord. 2021-08-001, 8-5-2021)
