No, Toccoa casket company closed down decades ago, probably around the year 2000. The company which had its plant at W. Currahee St. in Toccoa had been one of the big casket manufacturers in the US and the largest in the state of Georgia. Until the Vietnam War, it had been also the largest supplier of caskets to the U. S. Military. Later it was also one of the large suppliers of all wooden jewish orthodox style caskets. At the end of the 20th century Toccoa was also one of the few manufacturers of hermetically sealing copper and bronze inner casket liners for wooden caskets in the US. Legend has it that Toccoa Casket provided the - glass top liner equipped - cherry casket in which Martin Luther King was buried, after the bronze casket in which he had been taken from Memphis to Atlanta had been exchanged for a more modest looking hardwood model.
This company is no longer in business. Unfortunately, they made a business decision and decided to shut down their company.

Definitely yes! Due to the fact that the JJ Meany Company is probably the only casket manufacturer in the US which does not yet have its own website, the company has falsely been listed as inactive in several business directories. But as a matter of fact, the J. J. Meany Casket Company is still active (in 2014) and has even expanded its activities from the production of hand crafted metal caskets to wooden urns. As Meany Casket is probably the only casket manufacturer not advertising its products, perhaps some additional information on the history and activities of this unique company might be helpful.
If a casket made by the National Casket Company (of Boston) is meant, the question is difficult to answer because that famous casket manufacturer - once a giant of the industry - went out of business in the 1980s already. Some caskets made by the company, especially their extremely expensive copper deposit or cast bronze models, may be still around in a few funeral homes.
Currently (in 2014) there is only one company which produce cast bronze caskets - caskets which are not welded from sheets of wrought sheet bronze, but units which are cast like bells from molten bronze poured into a form - in the US: the York-Matthews company makes the "Pharaoh Sarcophagus" model, a cast bronze casket weighing 1,100 lbs and offered at a manufacturer's suggested list price of $ 270,000, but available from Online casket retailers at a "bargain" price of 160,000. The casket is cast in Italy, but marketed in the US. In the second half of the 20th century, there were still three companies in the US which produced cast bronze caskets: the Boyertown Burial Casket Company, the Springfield Metallic Casket Company and finally the National Casket Company of Boston, which manufactured the famous "Sarcophagus" caskets, one of which was used for the burial of Henry Ford. A cast bronze casket is also shown in the Fine Art Casting Gallery of Kassons Casting, a firm located in Austin, TX. Unfortunately, there is no information given for which casket supplier this unit was casted; perhaps for the SCI corporation, as both firms are from Texas.
