Is the Toccoa casket company still in business?

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.


Is the Springfield Metallic Casket Company still in business?

No, the Springfield Metallic Casket Company (SMC) has been out of business for decades. After its foundation in Springfield, Ohio in 1884, the company soon acquired the reputation of being one of the leaders of the industry. In an advertisement at the end of the 19th century, SMC claimed that its bronze caskets were virtually indestructible. For other caskets it gave a 50 year warranty of protection from the intrusion of water. In 1900 the company came up with the innovation of a "burglar proof grave vault". Gradually SMC became became one of the largest manufacturers of metal caskets and metallic burial vaults in the United States, at times probably the largest. In the 1950s it had some 230 employees. Until 1943 the company possessed also a warehouse in Detroit; for this purpose, SMC had erected a building with a beautiful art deco front in 1930. Legend has it that the bronze casket Al Capone was buried in, had been manufactured by SMC. In the 1960s, the company lost its independence and became a division of Springfield Greene Industries, Inc.. About a decade later, in 1974, the SMC factory closed down.

Where can a national seamless copper deposit casket be purchased?

These caskets are no longer made. They were originally made by National Casket Company but this company is no longer in business. The only ones left are found in funeral homes that have not sold them. Let me add the following information: Currently there is an ad of a copper deposit casket at http://www.nomispublications.com but it is doubtful if this is a model originally made by National. It does not look like that and the ad says "nickel plated copper deposit", which does not fit either. The closest equivalent which is currently available seems to be the "Marquis", a thermo-deposited bronze casket manufactured by the York / Matthews casket company.
