Aurora Casket Company, the largest family-owned funeral service supplier, has completed the acquisition of Canadian casket provider Alliance-St. Laurent Caskets. Based in New Brunswick, Canada, Alliance-St. Laurent will now operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurora, following the acquisition of the remaining 50 percent of the business. Aurora acquired a 50 percent share of the business in 2006, and has been a distributor of Alliance-St. Laurent products for more than 15 years.
Founded in 1978, Alliance-St. Laurent is a leading provider of hardwood and cloth caskets, and cremation and transport containers to funeral service providers throughout North America. Paul Michaud will continue to serve as president of Alliance-St. Laurent. “Our partnership with Aurora has been mutually beneficial for our companies, our employees, and the clients we serve,” Michaud said. “As a wholly owned subsidiary, we will continue to focus on quality, innovation and business growth.”
