Thacker acquires Madison County Casket Company
CLINTON,MD— Thacker Caskets is pleased to an-
nounce the completion of an acquisition of Madison
County Casket, also known as Canton Casket Com-
pany. This is one of Thacker’s largest acquisitions and
will extend Thacker’s distribution network to include
funeral homes throughout Mississippi and into Loui-
siana. The acquisition took place on June 16th, 2017.
This is Thacker’s sixth
overall acquisition in the
casket industry, and sec-
ond within the last six
months.
The Madison Coun-
ty Casket Company has
served customers in the
Mississippi and Louisi-
ana markets for almost 90
years. The company’s suc-
cess is due to the strong
relationships it built with
its customers, employees,
and manufacturers. The
business was established in
1930, and for many years
manufactured their own
caskets. In 2010 the Moore
family joined the Sullivan
family and renamed the
business Madison County
Casket Company.
“Preserving the family owned and operated legacy is of
utmost importance as my family has owned this com-
pany for three generations,” remarked Ralph Sullivan,
co-owner of Madison County Casket Company. He con-
tinued, “Thacker’s legacy is just about as long as that of
Madison, thus making this partnership a natural fit.”
Co-owner, Ron Moore added, “Thacker has continued
its growth path over recent years for good reasons. Thack-
er couples high quality, American made caskets with sev-
eral value added services like Remembrance Line™, mer-
chandising support, etc. – it is no wonder they continue
to grow.” He added, “Because of this, the customers of
Madison County Casket will truly benefit from the part-
nership between the two companies.”
“Madison’s rich and longstanding legacy along with
the proximity to our man-
ufacturing plant in north-
west Alabama made this
a natural fit for Thacker
as well,” said CJ Thack-
er . “We are ecstatic to be
adding the customers and
employees of Madison
County to the Thacker
family!”
Much of the Madison
County Casket product
line will be brought into
the Thacker line with-
in Madison’s distribution
area. Thacker is also ex-
cited to announce that
the Madison County em-
ployees will remain on-
board and become part of
the Thacker family!
Thacker Caskets, Inc
directly serves funeral homes in 17 states via its net-
work of 13 distribution centers throughout the east
coast, mid-west, and southern regions of the Unit-
ed States. In business since 1939, Thacker remains
committed to providing funeral homes high-quali-
ty products at an honest price, as well as continuing
the family owned legacy of Madison Casket Compa-
ny. For more information on Thacker Caskets, visit
