I will say this, back in college I worked for a company that did funeral services etc. we dug the graves and did the whole set up including exhuming bodies occasionally. I can assure you that buying those expensive airtight marble liners is a waste of money. Water finds a way over time to get in there by eroding away the rubber gaskets sealing them. I saw some pretty crazy stuff.

water seeps,weeps, travels through cement. The tile grout in your shower is not water tight

anyone who has built a slab for a building that did not first put down a plastic water barrier knows first hand of which I speak.

I get that rock is porous. But marble? I'm no geologist.

Is there a geologist in the house?

Cemeteries are like underground bodies of water. I vividly remember doing services at Austin Memorial cemetery after it had rained. Sometimes it took 2 to 3 days of hoe ramming just to get down to legal depth and then having to pump that grave out right up until the funeral service due to water pouring in from graves all around. Trust me, bits of grand pappy are 100yards away from where you originally buried him.

marble is limestone....however, it is not porous per say, but anything that size is likely to have cracks and fissures. Even still, the cement holding on the lid is porous.
