Families who choose to bury cremated remains often encounter the urn vault for the first time at the cemetery. An urn vault is a small outer container that holds the urn underground, protecting it from the weight of soil and from moisture. Many cemeteries in Dayton, Ohio require one for in-ground cremation burial, much as they require a full-size vault for a casket.
The reason is partly protection and partly grounds maintenance, since the vault keeps the earth above from settling. For a family, this means an urn vault is usually a necessary part of an in-ground cremation memorial, not an optional upgrade. Doric Vaults manufactures urn vaults built for this purpose, sized and constructed to protect an urn in the Dayton, Ohio ground.
