Thacker acquires Edison Casket
CLINTON,MD—
Thacker Caskets
is ex-
cited to announce that they have com-
pleted an acquisition with
Edison Cas-
ket Company,
December 19 , 2016 in
Edison, NJ. This marks Thacker Cas-
ket’s fifth acquisition in their pursuit of
remaining the largest family owned and
operated casket company.
“The
Kulesza
family has held an ad-
mirable reputation of dedication and
customer care within the industry,
we’re honored to have been consid-
ered to carry on their history,” said
CJ
Thacker,
Thacker’s president.
The Kulesza family, fourth-genera-
tion owners of Edison Casket Co have
been proudly serving funeral homes in
the New Jersey and New York market-
place for over 60 years. Edison’s deci-
sion to sell their longstanding company
was due to the next generation of fami-
ly succession in agreeance to pursue ca-
reers outside the funeral industry.
“It was imperative we see that our leg-
acy be carried on through a privately-
owned family business, such as Thack-
er,” said
Lee Kulesza,
president of
Edison Casket Co.
Sharing the same values, philosophies
and customer care insights, the Kulesza
family believes that Thacker Caskets is
best aligned to provide funeral homes
with multiple solutions for today’s in-
dustry challenges.
“From iArrange which allows funeral
homes to customize digital showrooms,
and our Remembrance Line merchan-
dising program, which features a com-
prehensive line of cremation products,
to providing consultative and custom
marketing programs, we are constant-
ly striving to provide funeral homes
with the most innovative services in the
market,” Thacker noted.
Since 1939 Thacker has been commit-
ted to providing funeral homes with high-
quality products at impeccable value and
remains dedicated to ensuring the same
service of excellence, Edison’s customers
expect. For more information on Thacker
