Casket Vaults

In most areas of the country, no state or local law makes you buy a container to surround the casket in the grave. However, many cemeteries ask that you have such a container so that the grave will not sink in. Either a burial vault or a grave liner will satisfy these requirements. Forest Lawn requires a container for ground burial not in a pre-constructed lawn crypt. However, you do not have to buy the required container from us.

We regret, that due to the pandemic, Forest Lawn is temporarily experiencing a shortage of burial vaults. Forest Lawn reserves the right to substitute outer burial containers composed of polypropylene when concrete containers are not available. No additional charge will be made in the event a substitution is required.
