Which term describes a cemetery that uses concrete or fiberglass grave liners and hard-bottom caskets?

• A. Green Burial
• B. Natural Cemetery
• C. Conventional Cemetery
• D. Historic Cemetery

Answer: (C)

Traditional burial practices rely on a grave liner or vault—often concrete or fiberglass—to encase the casket and a hard-bottom casket that sits on a solid base. This combination is standard in conventional cemeteries, reflecting non-eco-friendly, traditional methods. Green burial avoids vaults and non-biodegradable materials, using biodegradable caskets and natural processes; natural cemeteries emphasize low environmental impact; historic cemeteries concern age or historical significance rather than burial methods. So the term that best fits a cemetery using concrete or fiberglass grave liners and hard-bottom caskets is conventional cemetery.
