Which method is described as a burial where two caskets are stacked in one grave?

• A. Double Depth Burial
• B. Green Burial
• C. Home Burial
• D. Burial at Sea

Answer: (A)

Two caskets in one grave are interred by stacking them at two depths to save cemetery space. This arrangement, called double depth burial, involves preparing a single grave to accept two interments: the first casket is placed at the lower portion of the grave, then the second is placed above it, with appropriate separation and liners if required, and the site is backfilled. The goal is to maximize limited burial space while providing two separate interments in a single grave unit. This differs from green burial, which emphasizes natural, biodegradable materials and minimal environmental impact; from home burial, which happens on private property; and from burial at sea, which takes place in the ocean rather than in-ground.
