History and overview

Titan Casket was founded in 2016 as a vendor on Amazon by Scott Ginsberg. In 2018, he reached out to co-founders, Joshua Siegel and Elizabeth Siegel, and the three officially launched the company in January 2020.[3] In June 2022, Titan Casket raised $3.5 million in seed-round funding from Reformation Partners.[4][5]

The company designs and manufactures the caskets at its warehouses in the US and sends them directly to the families of the end user at the funeral homes.[6][7] It has also partnered with retailers including Amazon, Costco, Walmart, and Sam’s Club to sell their caskets.[8][9][10][11]
