― History ―
a Unified Voice since 1930
The National Concrete Burial Vault Association (NCBVA) was chartered in 1930 as a voluntary nonprofit organization of concrete burial vault manufacturers throughout the United States and Canada. Today, it consists of approximately 350 independently owned and operated concrete burial vault companies.
The purpose of the organization is to provide a unified voice for the concrete burial vault industry, regardless of product affiliation, brand recognition or location. Every major brand affiliation of concrete vault manufacturer is represented as a member of the organization. As an association, the NCBVA represents groups that provide 90 percent of all outer burial receptacles interred.
The NCBVA recognizes its leadership role in the area of funeral service to continually research and develop, then specify and promote minimum performance standards for the burial vault industry. These specifications will serve as the standard whereby burial vault producers, customers, and all interested parties may judge the structural integrity of outer burial receptacles. The procedures outlined are designed to demonstrate performance under a wide variety of soil and vehicle loads that the typical concrete burial vault and graveliner must withstand. The NCBVA has established testing procedures that demonstrate whether or not the units manufactured meet minimum performance specifications, criteria, and strength.
