The National Casket Company was an American manufacturer of caskets and other funeral equipment. It was formed in 1880 by a merger of the Stein Manufacturing Company of Rochester, New York; the Hamilton, Lemmon and Arnold Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Chappell, Chase, Maxwell and Company of Oneida, New York. It adopted the National Casket Company name in 1890. The company grew quickly through a series of acquisitions and by 1951 was the world's largest manufacturer of caskets. It was merged with Fred Richmond's Walco National Corporation in 1969 but went into decline following Richmond's imprisonment on fraud charges. The National Casket Company closed sometime during or after the 1980s.
