Marion Cemetery Receiving Vault

The Marion Cemetery Receiving Vault is a funerary structure in the main cemetery of Marion, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1870s, this receiving vault originally fulfilled the normal purposes of such structures, but it gained prominence as the semipermanent resting place of Marion's most prominent citizen, U.S. President Warren G. Harding.
==Construction==
The vault is a limestone structure with a slate roof; it rests on a concrete foundation.〔(Marion Cemetery Receiving Vault ), Ohio Historical Society, 2007. Accessed 2013-09-24.〕 Plans to build it were formulated as early as 1873, when the cemetery association voted to make plans for one; funds were insufficient, so the association decided not to build until sufficient money had become available. Six years later, the cemetery's trustees decided to build a vault, and to design it, they hired Toledo architect D.W. Giffs.〔(MCA ), Marion Cemetery Association, 2009. Accessed 2013-09-24.〕
Among the association's reasons for building the vault was the desire to retard a modern form of grave robbery: the practice of body snatching was still relatively common, and the association wished to provide a place where bodies could be laid without risk of theft until they had decomposed so much that they would be useless to body snatchers. Accordingly, the final design for the vault included iron gates with secure locks. Other elements of the design included a double-arched ceiling, the creation of ventilation and related systems, and the placement of fine marble and carpet to beautify the structure and retard the harshness of death for decedents' family members at funerals.〔 The entire structure is built into a hillside.〔"Harding Rests in Ivy-Clad Vault in Marion Cemetery". ''The Day'', 1923-08-11: 1/13.〕
