An interment container, such as a casket or vault, includes a lower member defining a recess, and an upper member adapted for engagement with the lower member so as to enclose the recess to define an internal cavity. The remains of a deceased are adapted to be placed within the internal cavity of the interment container, and a liner is located within the internal cavity. The liner is peripherally sealed about the remains of the deceased, to prevent leakage of fluids from the interior of the liner and for preventing infiltration of fluids into the interior of the liner. The liner includes a lower section which is received within the recess in the lower member of the interment container, and an upper section peripherally engaged with and sealed to the lower section. The upper member of the interment container is located over the upper section of the liner, such that the liner is concealed from the exterior of the interment container. The upper and lower sections of the liner define facing peripheral flanges which are adapted to be sealed together after the remains of the deceased have been placed within the recess defined by the lower section of the liner. The flanges are sealed together by positioning a heatable sealing member between facing surfaces of the flanges, and imparting heat to the heatable member so as to liquefy the material of the flanges adjacent the sealing member. The liquefied material flows together about the sealing member and the heatable sealing member is then allowed to cool, such that the liquefied portions of the flanges solidify to integrally seal the flanges together about the periphery of the liner.
