VIENNA ENTOMBMENT

BURIAL IN A VAULT

An entombment is much like a burial. However, the burial takes place not in an earthen grave but rather a stone-walled room which may be above the ground (a mausoleum) or below the ground (a tomb). The casket is also somewhat different – usually this will consist of a double casket that is hermetically sealed. The aim of an entombment is to preserve the body by excluding air.

 

Tomb caskets can be made from metal or hardwood. In both cases they will have an airtight, inner metal layer.

Urn at home

Many people find it easier to process their grief if they are able to remain close to the deceased, even after their death. In this case, you have the option of avoiding a funeral at the cemetery and keeping the urn at your home.

Urn Burial

Cremation, or incineration, is an alternative to burial. In this case, the body is placed in a wooden casket and burned.
