ABSTRACT OF DISCLOSURE A burial vault is provided, the component parts of which are preferably made of molded plastic resinous material, such as poly- ethylene, and which comprises a composite base including as com- ponent parts thereof, (1) a generally flat, rectangular-shaped supporting platform; (2) an inner upright wall structure including a generally rectangular-shaped frame mounted on the said supporting platform member and having an open top and having a lower end por- tion which is mechanically fastened and hermetically sealed to the supporting platform and having upstanding side walls and end walls which are provided on their outer surfaces with laterally spaced generally vertically extending parallel reinforcing ribs; and (3) a generally flat rectangular-shaped top closure plate or lid member which is arranged over and closes the open top of the frame of the inner upright wall structure and is hermetically sealed thereto. The burial vault includes a dome-shaped outer cover member having side walls and end walls, a closed top wall and an open bottom wall; the dome-shaped outer cover member being arranged over the top closure plate or lid member and being ar- ranged over and enclosing the frame of the inner upright wall structure and being mechanically fastened and hermetically sealed to the supporting platform member. The dome-shaped outer cover member has on the inner surfaces of the side walls and end walls thereof generally parallel laterally spaced reinforcing ribs which cooperate with the reinforcing ribs on the outer surfaces of the side walls and end walls of the frame of the inner upright wall structure to enhance the structural strength of the assembled vault. The dome-shaped outer cover member has geometrically shaped recesses in the outer surfaces of the side walls and end walls thereof in which correspondingly geometrically-shaped decorative colored panels are adhesively mounted.
