This is all dependent on where you are burying the urn. Typically, biodegradable urns are buried straight into the ground so that they can biodegrade. A burial vault is not biodegradable, so it defeats the point. However, you will need to check with your chosen cemetery regarding their requirements for biodegradable urn burials.
