Batesville Caskets provides a Memorial Record System with most caskets purchased, and every casket has the Living Memorial program, in which Batesville plants a tree in honor of the person who was memorialized. Outer burial containers are usually used in cemeteries to retain the walls of the grave. It also allows the cemetery to have equipment to go over the graves without creating sink holes.
Grave liners can be in sections or two pieces made from concrete.
Vaults can be painted to match the color of the casket, or lined with wood. Families have various emblems to choose from which are put on the lid of the vault along with the deceased person's name, birth and death dates. Not all burial receptables provide the same protection. The bell vault , a lightweight product commonly made of fiberglass or plastic, is designed to be stacked and stored above ground for a long period of time before the burial. The grave box , an unlined concrete box with holes in the base, allows ground water to escape.
