Audrey Thacker
Chief Financial Officer, Retired
Audrey Thacker served as the Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Thacker Caskets, Inc. and Thacker Caskets Manufacturing before retiring in 2020.
She is a native of the Scranton, PA area. While working for a local casket manufacturer, Audrey met and later married Carl Thacker, owner of Old Dominion Casket Company in Washington, DC. She moved to Washington and became active with the firm. Following her husband’s untimely death, Audrey boldly took the reins and kept the company viable until her young son, CJ, was able to come on board with the firm full-time.
Today, Thacker Caskets owes its very existence to Audrey and her strong determination in the face of very challenging circumstances. Once called the “Matriarch of the Industry” by American Funeral Director, Audrey’s impact has been astronomical. Thacker Caskets is now the third-largest funeral supply company in the country and the largest family-owned funeral supply company.
She enjoys spending time with her grandchildren Danielle, Justin, and Sara, as well as her great-grandchildren. Audrey also enjoys traveling the world.
