How Do You Butterdish a Burial Vault? - Just Give Me 2 Minutes 

Awesome video💓💓💓

Fascinating!

Love your great work. Keep it up!

I am hooked on your two minute videos…..so educational.

Never heard this before!!!! Great video.

Never heard of this. Quite interesting !! Learn something new everyday with Kari. Thanks

Wow…..learned something very new!! Thanks Kari.

So interesting, this whole vault thing facinates me. I'll never look at my butter dish the same way. Honestly our cemeteries aren't collapsing everywhere, I assume they just add dirt and grass seed when needed. I have visions of sink holes everywhere, they don't look like that. I only know of one guy whose car wheel sunk into a grave but honestly why was he driving over the graves!

Very very interesting. We live n learn. Never too old to get such relevant information. 🌹

Clark Vaults have a base with a raised area to hold a casket up off the bottom to catch moisture from inside the dome cover that is placed over the casket. They are my preference, look them up. 2:39 d

Something new. I never knew that.

Continue to appreciate your information Kari. I did not know this could be a option either.

I'm a pro now,thanks to you Kari!👍👍

Live&Learn, Thank you,Kari.........

Wow, you do learn something new every day. 🧠 Thank you for sharing ✌

Why not pour "construction sand" around an above the body for 6 to 12 inches which compacts easily, then compact the soil to grade level in lifts. This will prevent the grave from collapsing. If you want contact with natural soil, use a screened soil with good compaction characteristics.

I've been to a lot of funerals and I've never heard of this, thank you for the info

What a unique word! I feel smarter. Thanks Kari!

Thank you Kari! Great minute video.😊

This is important information; explained as only you can do, Kari!

I have seen this

In 2019 I watched a veteran friend of mine buried in a National Cemetery in a standard metal casket covered by a composite “butter dish” burial vault. The vault was able to be placed over the casket manually by two men. I know that previously, all burials at National Cemeteries here on Long Island NY used standard concrete burial vaults with a concrete lid and required mechanical equipment to be placed. A more cost effective method to achieve the same result?

Thank you! I had never heard of this before 💞

I learn so much from you Kari!

That's a really cool option. Thanks for explaining it!😘👍❤

Thanks Kari, very interesting!

Hi Kari, never knew about Butter Dishing. Your a woman, full of knowledge. Thank you. Enjoy your day.🌹😁

Thanks for this info, I am a Sexton in Minnesota and we do not require a grave box in our Cemetery. This is a great alternative to help with the long term maintenance.

Wow, that’s so cool. Thanks for mentioning Muslim and Jewish. ❤️

I've heard of this being done for orthodox Jewish burials years ago, but never heard the term before🤔

I bought a plot near my parents. And in that section it is very active with burials going on almost daily. And I went to the funeral home office to tell them that the two graves next to mine was very ditchy. In other words it was sunken in big time. And I saw other graves that were sunken in also ? And it is required to have a vault on all graves in this cemetery. So I'm not really believing that vault prevent sunken graves ?

I never heard of it before. It sounds like a great option.

Thank u,I had no idea about this. Fascinating ,,, we all need to learn this information as we all will have to face it eventually . Thanks 😊

Butterdishing? That's a new one for me. It sounded like something you'd only find the definition for on sites like Urban Dictionary. Here in New England, some cemeteries allow Orthodox vaults, ie. a vault with a hole in the bottom. Just backfill around the box, set the lid in place and let nature go to work. Grave collapse avoided.

Learning something new again from you Kari. Bluetooth audio drops some on this video as you probably know. At this point I definitely know what the problem is.

If a body has not been embalmed and placed in the ground, is that considered a natural burial? Cheers

Very interesting concept! Thanks Kari 🥰

If the religion requires a vault, where the casket is placed in the vault, and covered up, than the "Butterdish" wouldn't work. In the Jewish faith, this holds true, as the body isn't embalmed.

I have never heard of this 🤔 Thank You Kari, for another 2 min great!

That is a new one do you have to request that or is that what the cemetery will do

HI KARI ✋ THANKS NEVER KNEW THAT. HAVE A GOOD DAY ❤✌👌 👍

It might be just me but, your audio went out ever so slightly in the middle.

So thankful we don’t use these vaults in UK, seems like an added cost to families to help the upkeep of a cemetery, ones here look fine without them IMO 🙂

I wondered how that was done for those that some religions want.

Hello Kari, I haven’t commented for awhile but when I saw the word butter dish you got my attention real fast. My parents preplanned their funerals sometime in the 1990’s. Both my parents paid for vaults that were called butter dishes. My dad passed away before my mom in 2014. My sister did not want to pay extra for a cement vault so my dad was buried in a butter dish. This has really upset me. The butter dish my dad was buried in is not how you explained it. It was made of some type of steel or metal. They put my dads casket on the bottom of the butter dish and then put the top on. Then the workers used two steel or metal straps and pulled them really tight around the whole butter dish. They then lowered my dad into the ground. My mom passed away in 2016 and she told me before she passed away to cremate her. I know it sounds crazy but I was relieved my mom wasn’t going in a butter dish. I can’t get the butter dish out of my mind. I keep thinking there is nothing left of my dad. Have you seen this type of butter dish vault I explained? It looked very flimsy and not made very well. I also live in Michigan. I live north of Detroit. Thank you for all your videos. You have a very interesting page.

Thank you I never knew that this is an option!!

The Only negative I could see is by having No bottom i would think the weight distribution is different then had it been a complete box and over time the grave Sinks faster ? Just a thought

Different

I've heard of this before, but didn't know the term....

Interesting!!

Kari can a body still smell even after embalming? Can this happen at a viewing? What would happen if this occurred?

Interesting. Great 2 Min. video Kari.

Method is used in Jewish burials

This may be dumb. but why do you need a vault?

Omg, this reminds me of a case i watched 2 days ago on the "butter box babies". If anyone likes to watch "true crime stories" look up Kendall Rae (she's a youtuber) and in her videos, look up butter box babies. CRAZY STUFF. EDIT- wrong youtuber...link below ⬇⬇

Very interesting 💜💜💜

I thought this had to do with food.

You need ground support. I’m just thing of all the sprained ankles as ppl walked around looking at their loved ones or others graves. It would be all waving and sunken in the longer the person is decomposing.....how many decades has vaults been required? I hope this made sense.

I have a question! My dad passed away in September and I stayed while they lowered him into the vault. When they put the top on the vault they didn't seal it. Is that normal not to seal a vault? Or was that just the cemetery?

Well,…the butter does melt after awhile.

have you knowledge of personal family cemetery

Why even bother with a casket then?

Cool.

Unrelated to this topic but do you have ( or even allow) family members or friends that want to do the deceased’s make up and hair ? I did my sisters hair and make up after she passed a couple years ago . Was just curious if this was common ?

Hi kari how are you doing 2 night

Not to do with this video. If you have to stand for long periods of time try danskos not the most attractive shoes UT the support is awesome. When I was a flight attendant right after the safety demo, heels came off and the danskos went on.

Very interesting 💜💜💜
