Back in the 70’s and 80’s oversize caskets were hard to get and poorly made.

Special size caskets were made by hand, and without much regard to quality or integrity.

In 1985, Keith's father, Forrest Davis, (Pee Wee) quit his job as a welder in a casket factory and said, “Boys, I’m gonna go home and build oversize caskets that you would be proud to put your mother in.”

    He and his wife Mary, saw the need to produce a quality oversize casket.  The company started in an old converted hog barn by offering just two sizes and one color.  From those beginnings, the company expanded rapidly to a full range of sizes starting at 29” wide, up to 52” wide, and up to 8 feet long.

    Pee Wee always said, “It’s not what you do, but why you do it.”
