A burial container assembly with a lid constructed of a top and a plurality of sides extending from the top and which defines a first shell having a hollowed interior and a downwardly facing perimeter edge. A base is likewise provided with a bottom and both side walls and end walls which extend from the bottom to establish an open interior and an upwardly facing perimeter edge and which in combination define a second shell with a likewise hollowed interior. The base is preferably provided as a rectangular shaped body with an outwardly extending ledge projecting around a perimeter of the body and around which are assembled a plurality of individual side/end pieces and corner pieces to establish the hollowed shell of the base. Both the base and lid are capable of being filled with a foam filler material to greatly increase the load bearing and force resistive capabilities of the burial container assembly and the base and lid are further provided with a unique configuration of negative impressions along its surfaces which facilitate the location and fixed engagement within the surrounding earth. A method of assembling a burial container is also disclosed and facilitates ease of transportation and assembly of the assembly.

[ I claim:] [1.] A burial container assembly, comprising:a lid with a planar top and a plurality of sides extending from said top to define in combination a first downwardly facing perimeter edge, said lid being constructed as a first shell with an inner layer and a spaced apart outer layer to define a first hollowed interior, a portion of said planar top being removed to expose said hollow interior;a base with a bottom, side walls and end walls extending from said bottom to define in combination a second upwardly facing perimeter edge surrounding an open interior, said base being constructed as a second shell with an inner layer and a spaced apart outer layer to define a second hollowed interior which is accessible from an underside of said bottom;a plurality of vertically extending fluid-filled ballast tubes secured within said second hollowed interior of said base and proximate first, second, third and fourth corners of said base, each of said ballast tubes further including a foot valve located at an open bottom end, said foot valve facilitating one way inflow of ground water surrounding the assembly into said ballast tubes to add weight to said four corners of the assembly by facilitating one-way inflow of water through said foot valves, said volumes of water contributing to immovable support of the assembly;securing means for affixing said first downwardly facing perimeter edge of said lid to said second upwardly facing perimeter edge of said base; andmeans for filling said first and second hollow interiors with a filler composition.
