Urn vaults protect in two related ways, through structural strength and through resistance to moisture. A sealed urn vault adds a barrier against ground water, which some families in Dayton, Ohio prefer for the added assurance it provides. An unsealed vault still shields the urn from soil pressure and helps keep the ground stable.
Whether sealing is worth the added cost depends on what a family values and on the ground conditions at their cemetery. Doric Vaults offers urn vaults with and without sealing, so a family in the Dayton area can decide how much protection they want.
