This month's featured supplier is General Machine and Machinery Corp in Chicago, IL where we have a lot of our steel casket parts made. Founded in 1918, they designed and built over 350 historic casket hardware dies and molds, many of which are no longer produced. We visited them in their 100th year in 2018 and picked out several dies from their vintage vault to bring back to life on the production floor. Our favorite is the Art Deco Adapter Style Bracket which we sell in hand-forged black and raw steel. https://www.casketbuildersupply.com/products/swingarm-casket-handles-tall-art-deco

They may not taste very good, but they sure are fun to make.

We have a lot of fun tools in our shop, but this one is oddly satisfying to watch. It makes gluing up long boards a breeze!

For those who like to Keep It Simple (KISS!), we offer a steel bale handle that comes in 3 different colors and is super easy to install with 4 screws. And as a bonus, they are stamped by our friends, General Machine and Manufacturing in Chicago, IL ❤️ and powder coated by our neighbors at Ad-Tech Coating in Beaver Dam, WI ❤️. It means a lot to us that these are parts are 100% sourced in the USA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYcSi4OPw80

The Bale Handle style is as reliable as it is old. They're easy to install and give caskets a vintage look you can be proud of.

It's Throwback Thursday! 15 years ago we unloaded our first batch of parts for casket kits into our carriage house. Back then, they were made in Northern Wisconsin, but today we proudly make all of these in Beaver Dam with Wisconsin pine. We ship them daily as they remain one of our more popular products. https://www.casketbuildersupply.com/products/casket-kit-plain-pine-box
