Why do you need a burial receptacle?
An outer burial containers are required by most all cemeteries to preserve the
beauty and to help reduce the maintenance cost by supporting the weight of
the ground and equipment that pass over the grave.
How to choose a burial receptacle:
An outer burial container is defined as a burial receptacle placed in the ground,
in either a sectional, dome or box form, that helps support the weight of the
earth to prevent the grave from collapsing. An concrete burial vault is defined
as a lined and sealed concrete burial receptacle which performs all the
functions of a grave liner, but in addition, it is constructed using lining and
sealing materials to increase the overall tensile strength and to reduce or
eliminate the intrusion of exterior elements.

Why Concrete?
* Minimum compressive strength of 5,000lbs
per square inch.
* Loves moisture
* Continues to cure and gain strength
underground

Why Metals?
* Tensile Strength - 35,000 to 75,000 lbs
per square inch
* Permeability - Impervious to water
* Durability - Moderate to high durability in
a sub-soil environment
Types Of Metals Used:
* Stainless Steel - Tensile strength of
75,000 lbs per square inch
* Copper - Tensile strength of 35,000 lbs
per square inch
* Bronze - Tensile strength of 40,000lbs
per square inch
* Tensile Strength - 35,000 to 75,000 lbs
per square inch
* Permeability - Impervious to water
* Durability - Moderate to high durability in
a sub-soil environment
Types Of Metals Used:
* Stainless Steel - Tensile strength of

* Bronze - Tensile strength of 40,000lbs
per square inch
| Materials Used In Burial Vault Construction: Concrete, Plastic, Metals |
Why Plastic?
* Tensile strength of 3,500 to 4,500 lbs per square
inch.
* Tensile strength is the ability to stretch
* Permeability - Impervious to water
* Durability - Highly durable in a sub-soil
environment
Types Of Plastics Used:
* Strentex - a high impact and high tensile strength
* ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
* 400% higher impact strength
* 50% higher tensile strength
* Same plastic used in telephone casings,
refrigerator freezers and Football Helmets

Unidex Structural Adhesive:
* Especially formulated, in a two part mixture.
Unidex offsets the weakness of concrete by
chemically bonding the plastic & metals to the
concrete.
