What is the difference between a grave liner and a burial vault?

Question

Right now, the cemetery told us an outer burial container is commonly used, but we are not sure whether it is legally required or simply cemetery policy. Right now, we are comparing several options. We are comparing providers and each provider seems to describe the prices or requirements differently, and I want to know which parts can be confirmed in writing.

Both surround the casket, but construction, sealing, and protection features can differ. When comparing funeral arrangements, families should ask whether a grave liner or vault is required and what choices are available. Families can compare options more clearly when the provider separates required services from optional choices, merchandise, cemetery expenses, and outside charges. Get an itemized list of the provider's charges before agreeing to services, and check the source of any claimed requirement, distinguishing law and cemetery rules from the provider's own policy before payment.
