With the purchase of a modest casket business in 1968, James B. Bourgeois began his company\u2019s early years manufacturing caskets with a hammer and nails. Due to increasing demands and the rise in popularity of steel and hardwood caskets, his business grew from a small manufacturing warehouse to a large distribution facility. Our father founded our company on the simple belief that we would deliver a quality product at an honest price. He kept his costs low and his service levels high.<\/p>\n

In 2005, Bourgeois Casket Company experienced a great change with the loss of its patriarch. The company\u2019s legacy of honesty, hard work, and dedicated service continues with the dream he started many years ago. As second-generation successors, we adhere to the core values set forth long ago \u2026 to strive to be an asset to our customers and the families who select our products<\/p>\n

In 2019, we were proud to celebrate our 50th year in the funeral supply business. As we begin our next 50 years, we welcome our third generation of motivated young tech-forward individuals eager to make a positive impact on the funeral supply industry. As future successors, their business reputation will continue to offer first-rate quality products with superior customer service without any compromises.<\/p>\n
