I excavated/relocated two in the Middle Tennessee area about 2002/2003 that were on the campus of a local elementary school that had been built on a cemetery relocated in the 1940s. They obviously missed few. They were encountered while the school was undergoing renovation and expansion. I have a report somewhere around here:) Excellent preservation and hardware, and they dated to the late 1800s.

Subject: Re: Brick burial vaults
Tim,
I know of one brick burial vault in San Diego County, California. It dates
from the 1880s and holds a member of the McCain family, who was killed in
a gunfight with local Native Americans. It is above ground and in relatively
good condition, considering it is out in the middle of nowhere.
Although not created for the same purpose, a concealment feature built into
a chimney at a 1904 U.S. Army barracks at Fort Rosecrans in San Diego,
California also fits your question. It was completely sealed and contained a
worn soldier's boot and campaign hat.

I am looking for archaeological references to single-internment, brick
burial vaults. So far I have come across a lot of anecdotal evidence but
no real references. My sense is they are often encountered in cemetery
work but I have not been able to get my hands on any reports. Can anyone
point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Tim
