Sich Casket has announced the winner of their monthly “Year of the Funeral Director” casket giveaway for November. The winner, Larry Gould, is co-owner of Whitaker Funeral Home in Metter, CA.
Mr. Gould will receive the Sich Montclair Oak casket, featuring solid oak, with a satin pecan finish and almond velvet interior. He will take delivery from Scott Jones of Service Casket Company, the Sich Casket distributor in Columbus, GA.
Mr. Gould, who began in funeral service in 1996, has been co-owner of Whitaker Funeral Home, along with his wife Brenda, since purchasing the property from his father-in-law in 2001.
“I don’t remember even entering the contest,” Mr. Gould commented, “but I was tickled pink on hearing that I won the casket. I never win anything!”
Mr. Gould said he was in disbelief when he was notified that he had won the Sich Casket. But on receiving the casket a few days later, he was more than impressed. “The workmanship is just outstanding,” he said. “I’m big on workmanship and everything on this casket is wonderful!”
Until now, Whitaker Funeral Home had never purchased or sold an import casket. But Mr. Gould said that this product offers some prestige to his current offerings.
Mr. Gould is the eighth person to win a Sich casket as part of the monthly giveaway.
