An outer container is a container that the casket is placed in for burial. They can be manufactured in a variety of materials, the most common of which are concrete, steel and composite materials. They are commonly referred to as "vaults" or "liners". The purpose of these containers are to keep the weight of the earth off the casket; to facilitate maintenance of the grave by retarding settling of the grave over time; to offer a measure of additional protection from grave site substances (i.e. water, soil, etc.). In Texas an outer container is not required; however, individual cemeteries may require the use of a container. Each state has its own rules and laws. You should check before you make arrangements.
If you prefer a mausoleum or lawn crypt, then a vault is not necessary. Lawn crypts are pre-constructed concrete structures in specifically designated areas of many cemeteries. Mausoleums and personal mausoleums are similar to lawn crypts in that they are pre-constructed structures, usually in building, small and large, but are constructed above ground.
