Laws prohibit the Re-use of mortuary vessels- these boxes are evidentally scrapped/ That is the gist of it. in above-ground burial, as in stacked mausoleums, this probably would not apply as neither the casket or the body is in direct contact with the earth.
{ CORRECTION: The preceding paragraph is wrong, wrong.....so wrong. There are no such laws regarding the re-use of caskets or outer burial containers in such scenarios. Also, caskets deteriorate in mausoleum crypts as well, sometimes at a greater rate because of changing temperatures and humidity, The next paragraph is true....and is the correct answer to the question. Replacement is often a matter of practicality or necessity. }
Over time, no matter how well embalmed, bodies will eventually decompose. The body will liquefy during the process and will leak out about 2 gallons of blood/formaldehyde. The liquid will cause the bottoms of wood caskets to rot out. Even metal caskets eventually corrode. Because of decomposition damage to the caskets, the body can't be transported like that for obvious reasons! That's why the caskets are replaced.
