Caskets

Record of Caskets sold by Moody Bros.
1934 ~ 1965
Madison County Arkansas

My great grandfather Jesse Moody, was the local Black Smith for the small town of St. Paul Arkansas and was an accomplished craftsman. One skill he was well known for was his Casket making. After he made a casket he would line the men's with black satin and the women's with white satin. The following is a list of some of the caskets he made. This is a very incomplete list and I will be continually adding to it so check back. If you see someone listed and would like to purchase a copy of their death certificate you will need to contact Arkansas Vital Records.
