Abstract
A high density closed-cell foam burial vault is disclosed. The vault consists of top and bottom halves which are formed of a closed-cell foam having a density between 8-30 pounds per cubic feet. The foam is sufficiently rigid to protect a casket within the burial vault, and is also resistant to leakage of water into the vault. The foam results in a lightweight, easy to manufacture burial vault. The top and bottom halves nest within each other, such that a large number of foam burial vaults may be stored in a relatively small space.
