What a burial vault is

A vault is a funerary structure for multiple family members. It has a reinforced concrete frame with internal niches and an exterior cladding in granite or marble.

Unlike a standard monument, a vault allows multiple burials in the same plot, arranged in tiers. It is a long-term solution for a family.

Dimensions and capacity

A vault typically occupies approximately 250 × 150 cm at ground level, with a depth of 180–220 cm. Usual capacity is 2–6 places, depending on the design.

Construction requires a grave plot with sufficient area and a long-term concession. Final dimensions are confirmed with the cemetery administration.

Permits and timeline

A vault requires a concession, a design plan and the approval of the cemetery administration. Construction generally takes several weeks.

The work includes excavation, concrete pouring, cladding and inscription. We guide you through every stage and all required approvals.

Cemetery regulations and access

Vault construction must comply with cemetery regulations: plot alignment, maximum permitted height and distances from neighbouring paths. We verify these requirements before work begins.

Access to the niches is through panels that can be lifted when needed for a new burial. The vault thus remains a resource for the family across multiple generations, without needing a new concession each time.
