Creter Vault has been a member of NCBVA (National Concrete Burial Vault Association) for more than forty years. Dick Creter’s father, Frank Creter, was a past president and Dick believes that the best thing that NCBVA did was create the industry standards for the manufacture of concrete burial vaults. The NCBVA is an excellent resource for those involved in the burial vault and death care industry. Creter Vault is one of the few vault companies in the northeast and greater New Jersey area that is a nationally certified member of the NCBVA (met or exceeded national performances standards by means of an on site inspection). Creter Vault is also certified by the Academy of Professional Funeral Practice to give plant tours and seminars to funeral directors for CECs (continuing education credits).
