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 J J Meany casket company of Iowa still in business?
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.
Where can you purchase a nationl casket?
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.

Where was Dwight D. Eisenhower buried?
In accordance with his wish, the former general was buried in a regular soldier's coffin made of steel. To be more specific, it was a standard silver gray colored square design with stationary bars serving as handles and with a neutral, ivory colored crepe interior. The US government provided this casket to its active and retired soldiers at a price of $ 80 at that time - a price well below wholesale cost. The only "extra" distinguishing the casket of the former president from an ordinary soldier's casket was the equipment with an inner glass lid which converted the unsealed casket into a hermetically sealing one, making the coffin air and water tight. This specially ordered feature cost an extra $ 115, raising the total price of the casket to $ 195 - less than a tenth of a typical "presidential" luxury casket. As possible manufacturer of the casket the (former) Toccoa casket company can be named: although the company had lost in 1969 already its pre-Vietnam war position of being the largest supplier of caskets for the US military, Toccoa - unlike the new big government supplier Batesville - still manufactured caskets with inner glass lid. Eisenhower's personal choice of a regular soldier's casket reflects the modesty of this great man and the solidarity of this exceptional soldier with his comrades.
