What was the Toccoa casket company renown for?
The former Toccoa casket company was known as the largest casket manufacturer not only in Georgia, but, at times, in the South of the United States, too. After World War II it was also the largest supplier of military caskets for the US government until the Vietnam war. It probably manufactured the military casket President Eisenhower was buried in. Toccoa also gained a reputation of being a pioneer in brush finished metal caskets. The company, whose logo showed Toccoa Falls, was founded in 1933 by Thomas McNeely as McNeely-Lipscomb casket company. Before that, the McNeely family had owned the Toccoa Furniture and Lumber Company founded in 1890. In the early years it produced cloth covered softwood caskets only. Changing its name to Toccoa casket company, it added a production line of metal caskets. During WW II, when the use of metal was severely restricted, it started producing hardwood caskets. After the war it offered a full line of wooden and metal caskets and also became one of the leading manufacturers of entirely wooden caskets used for traditional or orthodox Jewish funerals. Toccoa was also one of the few manufacturers of hermetically sealing copper or bronze liners with either a metal or a full oval plate glass top. The Tocca casket company was connected with the casket division of Progress Industries, Inc. at Arthur, Ill. The two factories had common warehouses in Florida, Maryland and Virginia also. After the Toccoa company had been sold by the founder's family in 1992, the plant, which was located at 726 W. Currahee St. in Toccoa, Ga. closed down at the end of the 1990s, probably in 1996.
