For centuries, man has employed various metals to protect and to memorialize their deceased loved ones. From the elaborate gold and silver sarcophagi of the ancient Egyptians, to the heavy cast iron mummiform coffins of the Civil War era, to today’s modern steel caskets metal is synonymous with a lasting final tribute.

At Thacker Caskets, Inc. we are proud to offer one of the industry's broadest selection of metal caskets. From the elegance of solid bronze to the traditional ambiance of solid copper to the strength afforded by a wide variety of gauges of cold rolled steel, Thacker Caskets, Inc. offers products to meet every need.

We at Thacker Caskets, Inc. are also proud to note that we produce our own metal caskets from our new “state of the art” casket manufacturing facility in Florence, AL.

Among these features are: A new PPG paint system for deep and lustrous finishes; a wide variety of painted, shaded, and brushed finishes; a one-piece rubber gasket; concealed hinges; adjustable beds and mattresses; safety-seal stationary or swing bar handles; absorbent pack mattresses; hand sewn interiors; and the industry's most extensive selection of luxuriously embroidered, custom designed back panels.

Nature’s own hardwoods have literally served man from cradle to grave for thousands of years. It is often said that the foundation of funeral service is sentiment. Each of us has sentimental feelings associated with wood. We live with wood—we choose it for our furniture and to decorate our homes. Wood’s warmth is pleasing and comforting. Each of us has his own “favorite" specie of wood--usually reflected by the type of furniture that we select for our homes. Some prefer the bold, “outdoors” look of Oak…some favor the more refined lines of Mahogany or Cherry…still others are drawn to the “colonial” look of Northern Pine, New England Maple, Southern Pecan or Tennessee Cedar.

Environmentalists are pleased to learn that the woods that we utilize come from managed forests. Wood is one of America’s very few renewable natural resources. About 70% of the lumber reserves in the US today existed when Columbus landed over 500 years ago!
