Probably the main purpose it to prevent the grave from caving in because of the earth pressure or because heavy machinery is used for maintaining the cemetery.

Another purpose of vaults (in this case of hermetically sealed ones only) is to protect the casket and the remains in itfrom ground water and insects.
