ABSTRACT:
A funeral vault having a dome and a base slidably received within a casket receiving hollow of the dome. The dome is preferably comprised of a plurality of components adhered together and covered with an outer protective cover or laminate. A sloped extension is provided along the lower edge of the dome and the base has an oppositely sloped peripheral edge such that a frictional engagement is provided between the base and dome as the base slides within the casket receiving hollow. The frictional engagement between the base increases as the base slides upwardly within the hollow interior cavity so as to provide a sealing function which prevents condensation as well as the entry of air and water within the casket receiving hollow. The base member also includes feet extending from a bottom surface of the base. The feet include a slotted section for receipt of the lowering straps. The feet also help ion pushing the base up within the casket receiving hollow as the dome is covered with soil. A protective guard is also optionally provided about the rim of the dome to avoid punctures. The dome and base combine to provide a condensation barrier and an inverted dome-shaped device is also contemplated for use as a condensation barrier within a casket.
