Are there differences between earth burial and vaults / mausoleums?

Yes. At an earth burial the deceased, along with their coffin, casket or other covering is buried beneath the ground and a monument or marker is placed at the grave site as a visible sign of identification.

Mausoleums and vaults are above ground structures that contain concrete or stone crypts in which the deceased and their casket is placed. Once the casket is entombed, the crypt is sealed and a granite or marble front is attached.
