THACKER INTRODUCES THE CARNATION - FIRST "VALUE LINE" CASKET

Thacker listens to its customers, then acts decisively.

Funeral Directors have shared that the recent economic turmoil has hit families hard. Many would like to purchase an attractive casket for their loved ones, but just don’t have the means. The most recent survey by the NFDA bears this out as 80.4% of respondents told NFDA that their families were selecting less expensive caskets as a result of the recession.

To assist both Funeral Directors and their struggling families, Thacker again takes the lead with their new “Value Line”. The “Value Line” is a selection of carefully chosen, gasketed caskets which combine high appeal with value pricing. Families can once again afford a meaningful final tribute, while Funeral Directors can restore sagging profit margins.

The new Carnation is the first of the Thacker “Value Line” caskets. This attractive 20ga casket offers real value without compromise. It features Thacker’s signature 24” inside width, Fluidgard plastic tray liner, and lustrous PPG paint finish.

And the price? The Carnation is less than HALF the cost of 18ga caskets of similar appearance.

Funeral Directors can’t control rising unemployment, skyrocketing insurance premiums, higher fuel costs, escalating taxes, etc. Funeral Directors CAN control their cost of merchandise, and put a stop to paying high casket prices. Buying Smart is what the Thacker “Value Line” is all about. For more information about the new Carnation casket, and for pleasing price quotations please call the Thacker Customer Service Office at 800-637-8891.
