The Elgin Metal Casket company of Elgin, IL was renown as one of the largest manufacturers of quality metal coffins and as a company which provided the caskets for two American presidents.

Already in 1933, Elgin caskets were regarded as being of such a high quality that an Elgin casket was chosen for the funeral of President Coolidge. He was buried in a polished solid bronze casket of the company: the round corner design had separately hinged caps and was equipped inside with a hermetically sealed full length oval plate glass lid. Then, in 1963, Elgin provided the casket in which President Kennedy was taken from Dallas to Washington, DC: his Elgin "Handley" model was a double lid sealer casket (without inner glass lid) weighing more than 300 lbs empty. The exterior had a "Britannia" (that is: partially brushed or "scratched") finish with a transparent amber (reddish) tint and a clear lacquer over it. The interior consisted of an adjustable inner mattress and a white velvet and satin lining. The casket certainly would have been used for Kennedy's burial, had it not been damaged during the loading / unloading process by the Secret Service people who unintentionally tore off the ornamental attachments of the

swing bar handles. For that reason, the Elgin casket was replaced with a new casket (a Marsellus solid mahogany model), in which Kennedy was buried. Eventually ,his original Elgin casket was dumped in the Atlantic ocean by the Air Force in 1966 in order to prevent it from becoming an object of morbid curiosity.

The successor to Kennedy's "Handley" model is still in production. A few years after President Kennedy's death, the Elgin Company changed the flaring round corner design of the original "Handley" somewhat by giving the casket a more pronounced urn shape. After the Elgin company had been bought by the renown mattress producer Simmons in 1968, the "Handley" was replaced by the "Winchester" model, which differed from its predecessor mainly by some embossed ornaments. This casket is still manufactured today by VerPlank Enterprises of Iron City, TN and can be seen in the Online Catalog of that Company. Other original Elgin designs have survived the end of the company as well, for example the thermo deposited "Citadel", a 48 oz bronze double lid design, which is manufactured currently by the York-Matthew company under the name "Marquis". Elgin was a very innovative company which came up with several patents. Since 1974 Elgin possessed a registered trade mark and pictured logo featuring a helmet as part of a knight's armor.

The roots of the Elgin Metal casket company can be traced back to the Elgin Silver Plate Company, a casket hardware producer which was founded in Elgin, IL around the year 1892. Its products were so convincing in quality and price that already in 1899 the factory size had to be doubled; soon the production line was expanded to zinc casket liners. In 1926, the Elgin Silver Plate Company was acquired by the Western Casket Hardware Company (founded in 1903). Around 1928, the company's production line was expanded to metal caskets, which more and more became the main product of the firm. For that reason, the company's name was changed to Elgin Metal Casket Company. After the Second World War, Elgin concentrated on manufacturing metal casket shells which it distributed through a jobber organization known as Elgin Associates; these jobbers completed the casket shells with handles and / or interiors in accordance with the orders of the local funeral directors.

One really wonders why such a big company with renown quality products hasn't survived. The downfall of the company probably began when it was acquired by companies not related to the funeral industry (mattress producer Simmons in 1968 and oil giant Gulf & Western in 1974). The loss of its experienced team of some 200 craftsmen caused by the move of the complete manufacturing plant from Elgin, IL. to Indiana in 1982, seems to have been the final blow for the famous casket manufacturer, which closed down in the 1980s and which should not be mixed up with the modern "Star of Texas Casket Company", a manufacturer of fine hardwood caskets and wooden urns located in Elgin, Texas.

The Springfield Metallic Casket Co. was one of the largest US manufacturers of metallic caskets and metal burial vaults. The company was founded in 1884 and soon gained the reputation of being a producer of high quality caskets which could be specified to custom order. Springfield acquired also an excellent reputation as a manufacturer of high end caskets: wrought copper and sheet bronze caskets, oftentimes equipped with a hermetically sealing inner glass lid, as well as cast bronze luxury caskets. At the end of the 1950s the company had 230 employees. The Springfield company was one of the first metal casket manufacturers giving a 50 year warranty which promised that their caskets remained water tight. According to rumors, Springfield provided the caskets of Buffalo Bill Cody in 1917 and also the square bronze casket of Al Capone in 1947, which cost $ 2.000 (retail) at that time. The company seat was in Springfield, Ohio at Main & Mechanic St., but there was also a warehouse and office in Detroit until 1943. The Art Deco building in Detroit was taken over by the Mortuary Science Department of Wayne State University for more than a decade. In the early 1960s the company became a division of Springfield Greene Industries, Inc.; later a subsidiary of A-T-O Corporation of Willoughby, Ohio. These changes were to no avail: the Springfield factory closed in 1974.

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.

Crane & Breed (C & B) was the industry's first sheet metal casket producer and became renown for its many technical innovations, e.g. the "Everseal" mechanism providing a hermetical (air and water tight) seal for metal caskets. C & B rightly called itself the "House of Quality". C & B was also an innovator in designs: in 1965 for example, C & B created a very modernistic stainless steel casket in a natural brushed metal finish, In the years to follow, C & B advertised this casket with the slogan that its design was "often imitated but never duplicated".

The roots of C & B go back to the middle of the 19th century when Martin Hale Crane and J. R. Barnes bought the casket part of the Anchor Iron Work in 1853. Along with the business, Crane, Barnes & Co. received the all-important license to manufacture the Fisk patent burial case, which was the first metallic coffin to achieve widespread acceptance and use in the US. As a result, the early history of Crane & Breed became closely connected to the New York inventor Dr. Almond Dunbar Fisk who in 1848 designed and patented "An air-tight coffin of cast or raised metal". It resembled an Egyptian sarcophagus with sculpted arms and a glass window for viewing the face of the deceased person. Meanwhile Abel Denison Breed had joined Crane, Barnes & Co and in 1854, a businessman named John Mills bought out the interests of J.R. Barnes and the firm was reorganized as Crane, Breed & Company, which continued to use the former Davis casket works. 1855 Martin H. Crane designed a new casket which modified Fisk's original design: the mummy shape was eliminated and the simplification of the ornamental parts allowed the casket could to be mass-produced. The fact that President Abraham Lincoln's original wooden casket later was exchanged for one of the new patented Crane cast iron coffins was evidence of the fact that it had supplanted the original Fisk as the finest coffin in the country. Since the mid 1860s, Martin H. Crane experimented with rolled sheet iron as a less-expensive alternative to cast iron, and by the end of the decade he had perfected the industry's first sheet metal casket. In 1882, Crane, Breed & Co. was reorganized as the Crane & Breed Manufacturing Company. In 1897, William J. Breed relocated the Crane & Breed works to a spacious new 4-story brick factory erected at 1227-59 West Eighth St., Cincinnati, OH (with the main office located at 1231 W Eighth St) where it remained until the closing of the company some time after 1973.

In the early 20th century, C & B also began to manufacture vehicles, especially ambulances and hearses. In 1928 Howard Breed, the company's new president, reorganized the firm as the Crane & Breed Casket Company. From that point of time, C & B concentrated on the manufacture and distribution of caskets and other mortuary supplies. During the Second World War, C & B introduced caskets made out of a composite plastic called Eternalite as a reaction to the shortage of metal caskets.

When pope John XXIII died in 1963, C & B barely missed the change to provide his casket. According to reports in a funeral trade magazine, the catholic bishops of the US had decided to present the Vatican an American top of the line casket for the burial of the late pope as a gift of the American catholics. Upon the initiative of the archbishop of Cincinnati, Crane and Breed obtained the order to supply the casket. As the company's top model was out of stock at that point of time, workers of C & B hand-crafted one in day and night shifts . Although the casket was finished in time to be flown to Rome, all the extra work proved to be in vain because archconservative circles of the Vatican insisted upon burying the pope in the traditional triple set of caskets which had been used for pope John's predecessors - an inner casket of cypress wood, a middle casket of lead and an outer walnut casket. This triple set of caskets eventually was place into a marble sarcophagus. The C & B casket intended for pope John was probably the top of the line product advertised in trae magazines: a double walled casket of 14ga (extra heavy) wrought bronze. It had a triple providing an air and water tight double seal. The outer bronze lid was divided as in a perfection half couch casket. The middle bronze lid was split, too. The innermost lid consisted of a full length oval plate glass panel covering the removable inner bronze casket. The weight of the empty casket was 700 lbs. The casket exterior was finished in golden natural bronze. The inside was lined with hand tufted velvet of supreme quality. The casket had cast bronze swing bar handles in Navy bronze finish.

This deals with the problem of place. Secondly it has to be complete: country-by-country reporting deals with that by ensuring all profit is captured with the potential for re-allocation wherever it has been attributed to by a multinational corporation. This by default deals with timing: all current profit is apportioned to the place where it is really most likely to have been earned.
