Exclusive Programs that Create Solutions
Over the years, Thacker has developed unique programs consisting of both products and services to fill the evolving needs and requests of funeral homes and the families they serve. Our amazing programs are designed with our funeral home customer's success in mind.
Remembrance Line
Designed with cremation in mind, Thacker's Remembrance Line cremation rental caskets are one of Thacker's most popular product lines. Thacker's Remembrance Line proudly boasts 10 different cremation rental casket offerings. Funeral homes can elect to purchase the rental caskets to own and store at their facility, or they can take advantage of Thacker's "Rent the Rental" concept. For any funeral home within Thacker's distribution network, the funeral home may choose to "rent" the casket from Thacker. The funeral home simply communicates which day they would like the rental casket shell + insert delivered, then which day they would like the rental casket shell picked up are the services are completed. This truly innovative way of serving the casket industry was recognized by NFDA as an Innovation Finalist!
Recollection Line
Today’s generation of consumers has embraced the concept of creating a personalized funeral that is representative of the life lived. Thacker believes that the casket can be a large “prop” that a funeral director can use to play into the theme of the personalized funeral service. This led Thacker to develop the industry’s first line of caskets to accept pictures on the hardware handles and corners. Thacker’s Reminisce is the first in a series of caskets that will be introduced to the market. The Reminisce is a 20-gauge, two-tone casket that features a crepe interior and the ability to accept a 4 x 6″ photo on the corners and also the handles of the casket. The photo could be of the deceased, their hobbies/interests, or simply a more generic theme (example: photos of the beach). The Recollection Line is the first casket that truly allows the funeral home to use a casket to create that personalized service.
Tailored Designs
With its Tailored Designs program, Thacker answered one of the industry's most frequently asked questions from a funeral director: "Can I change the interior of the casket and have the casket delivered tomorrow?" And the answer is finally a resounding "Yes!" Thacker's Tailored Designs program allows a family to change the interior's color and upgrade to one of the eight modern woven fabrics offered. Over 85% of Thacker's burial metal and wood casket products can accept a Tailored Designs interior change. Families can select from one of the following fabrics: Solid Black Velvet, Dark Blue Velvet, RealTree™ Camo/Duck Cloth combination, White Eyelet, White Basketweave, Blue Basketweave, Rosetan Basketweave, and Pink Linwood.
iArrange
iArrange is one of the industry’s most comprehensive, yet easy-to-use digital presentation programs. iArrange is designed with simplicity in mind, allowing a funeral home to only show the core line burial & cremation casket offerings they would like to present to families. Through iArrange, funeral directors can also place their orders directly online and view a Tailored Designs interior on a casket. Finally, Thacker offers funeral homes many convenient features to make arrangements easy; These include the availability of “similar products” and also a comprehensive product search bar that allows a funeral director to get directly to the caskets of interest for a family by price, color theme, and more!
