75 Years of Building Strength

1950 – In the Beginning

On July 18, the very first vault was delivered — marking the start of the journey.

1950s – Early Growth

Demand grew quickly. A second truck was added, introduced concrete outer burial containers, and began offering cemetery tent services. In 1958, the Strentex Monticello Vault changed the industry and fueled expansion.

1970 – A Bigger Home

The first shop was outgrown and moved to Grand Forks, ND. Motorized carts and more employees were added due to growth.

1994 – New Ownership

Acquired by Wells Concrete, expanding Wilbert products and other precast offerings.

2020 – Transition Years

Acquired by Kost Materials.

2022 – Back to Family-Owned

The Goelz family purchased the business, reestablishing it as Northern Vault GF Inc. rooted in family values and community commitment.

2024 – Woman-Owned & Growing

Expanded into concrete precast products such as transformer pads, pole bunkers, generator pads, HVAC pads and communication pads.

2025 – 75 Years Strong

Received approval for Central CERT/SBE/ESBE/WBE

Then. Now. Always.

Since 1950, Northern Vault GF Inc has served families and communities with dignified funeral products while expanding into durable precast solutions for today's infrastructure. Our commitment to strength, precision, and dependable service is at the core of everything we manufacture.
