Claim 8:
9. A non-mechanical outdoor urn burial system comprising:
a one-piece rigid elongated weather resistant tubular vault directly embedded within an outdoor cemetery plot ground surface with a length of said vault extending perpendicular to said outdoor ground surface and with a portion of said elongated weather resistant vault embedded partially under the outdoor cemetery plot ground surface, said vault having an open top, a closed end, and an elongated chamber having a dimension configured to support one set of at least six urns at least eighteen inches below said outdoor ground surface in a vertically stacked condition wherein access to the chamber is through the open top;
a weather resistant cover disposed to close the open top and seal said chamber from environmental conditions;
at least two urns each having a top end and a bottom end, said urns disposed top end-to-bottom end in a stacking yet independently displaceable condition in said chamber with each of said urns including a hook loop or a handle located proximal said top end of said urn to facilitate the independent transfer of said urn within and out from said vault;
each of said urns includes a male protrusion having a thread-free exterior extending from said top end and a thread-free female indentation located at said bottom end with said male protrusion mateable with said female indentation of an adjacent urn to facilitate the vertical stacking of said urns within said chamber; and
at least one removable solid urn spacer disposed inside of the chamber to maintain separation between a plurality of urns, said spacer having a length smaller than a length of each of said urns, said spacer having a thread-free male protrusion extending from a top end and a thread-free female indentation located at a bottom end of said urn spacer with said thread-free male protrusion and a said thread-free female indentation of said urn spacer mateable with the corresponding male protrusion and a female indentation of said urns.
