12. Interments in special or private vaults may be made in the following manner only:
(1)  by depositing the coffin in a grave and covering it with 1 m of earth; or
(2)  by enclosing the coffin in masonry at least 30 cm thick if in stone, and at least 45 cm thick if in brick, both brick and stone being well covered with cement; or
(3)  by surrounding the coffin on all sides with a layer of cement 10 cm thick. For that purpose a casing must be built, so that the inside measurements of the case will be 20 cm greater in length, width and height than the coffin to be enclosed therein, the walls of the case to be of burnt brick, cemented, and to be 10 cm thick. The bottom of the cases in the lower range shall be made of cemented brick or concrete. The lower cases shall serve as the bottom for the upper cases. The coffin shall be deposited in the case so built on four stone blocks 10 cm high, so as to have a free space of 10 cm on all faces, and such space shall be filled in with cement up to the height of the walls in brick.
