We offer a truly unique and exciting book that will be treasured for years to comeby anyone interested in the Funeral Industry. The Casket & Funeral Supply Association createdthis wonderful abbreviated history of the American Casket Industry to celebrate their 100th Anniversary. The result was a 195 page hard cover book just chock full of over 160 fascinating photographs dealing with all aspects of the Funeral Profession including caskets, coffins, burial vaults, embalming fluid, hearses, etc. A special 89 page section of the book is entitled \"A Brief History of the Funeral Supply Industry in the United States\". It was compiled by Michael Beardsley, Vice President emeritus of Thacker Caskets, Inc; former CFSA Board Member; and a 30+ year veteran of the Marsellus Casket Company.

Many of the photographs are \"one of a kind\" from the Beardsley collection, the CFSA archives, or the private stock of CFSA member companies. The history portion is full of interesting stories, incredible pictures, and seldom seen advertisements. The text was written and the photos were selected to be of interest to Funeral Service professionals and laymen alike. Believe it or not, this makes an excellent coffee table book sure to spark many an intriguing conversation.
