Burial container assembly and method for constructing the same

A burial container assembly, comprising:

• a lid with a 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 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, a plurality of first, second, third and fourth corner pieces being arranged at associated corner locations between said side walls and said end walls, 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 exterior facing surfaces of said outer layer of said base each further including pluralities of negative impressions formed therein for contributing to fixed and immovable location of the container assembly within surrounding earth by increasing a surface area of contact therebetween, said negative impressions further including vertically and horizontally extending recessed channels provided along outer faces of said side walls and end walls, said negative impressions further including upper and lower recess channel impressions formed proximate to upper and lower ends of each of said corner pieces;
• securing means for affixing said first downwardly facing perimeter edge of said lid to said second upwardly facing perimeter edge of said base;
• and
• means for filling said first and second hollow interiors with a filler composition.

• said inner layer of said base further including a one-piece rectangular shaped body and an outwardly projecting ledge extending along said inner layer and in continuous fashion around said side walls and said end walls to define a perimeter of said body, said spaced apart outer layer of said base being constructed by a plurality of individual and assembleable planar shaped pieces which are arrayed in combination around said rectangular shaped body and are securably attached in end to end fashion to each other and along said outwardly projecting ledge, said plurality of individual and assembleable planar shaped pieces including a first side piece, a second end piece, a third side piece and a fourth end piece arranged in rectangular and opposing fashion around said rectangular shaped body, a plurality of first, second third and fourth corner pieces being arranged at associated corner locations between and interconnecting said side and end pieces, said exterior facing surfaces of said corner pieces and said side pieces of said base having formed therein a plurality of negative impressions;
• a plurality of two-sided adhesive strips secured along both side edges and top edges of said side pieces, end pieces and corner pieces for assembling said pieces in end to end fashion and also to said outwardly projecting ledge;
• securing means for affixing said first downwardly facing perimeter edge of said lid to said second upwardly facing perimeter edge of said base;
• and
• means for filling said first and second hollow interiors with a filler composition.
