<human>: I've been doing some reading and some of the specifications in the Funeral Rule have confused me. I know that it states a cemetery cannot tell me state law requires an outer burial container, but can they require me to purchase one? 

I know where they're coming from regarding preservation of the grounds and urn collapse, but we're not having an urn. Afaik, in Illinois we are allowed to request a green burial to fulfill religious requirements that specify remains must contact earth. Return and renewal and all that. So if the only thing going into the grave is a specified amount of dirt/pulverized bone dust like fragments, there's nothing to collapse. My sisters and I are younger and not very established, so we're pretty poor and could really use they money they want for a cremation vault on other memorial expenses. It doesn't seem fair for them to require this of us when what creates the need and the law  (the existence of a burial urn that will collapse) doesn't exist. We can't go to another cemetery because my mom's  wishes were to be buried in the family plot with her mom. This is a Catholic cemetery and they say it's a requirement of the Archdiocese, but that shouldn't change what is allowed by law, right?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: a cemetery (not funeral home) is requiring my family to purchase a vault for cremated remains. Is this legal?
