Which items are typically included in an 'outer burial container'?

• A. Caskets
• B. Vaults or grave liners
• C. Urns
• D. Cremation urns

Answer: (B)

The outer burial container is the protective shell placed around the casket in a traditional burial. Its purpose is to encase the casket and provide structural support to the grave, often helping prevent soil pressure from damaging the casket. The items that serve this role are vaults or grave liners—the outer container itself. The casket is the inner container that holds the body and sits inside this outer shell. Urns and cremation urns are used for cremated remains, not as the outer container for a full-body burial.
