SpecialtiesIn Business since 1937 The years during and after the Great Depression were very difficult for most Americans. John Cullen Davidson of Sebastopol, MS, and Sudie Hesta Ingels of New Orleans, LA, began their married life together in the early 1930s in the midst of those hard times. Their desire was to have children and to embark on building several monument businesses throughout the state for their livelihood. Thus, the first Davidson Marble and Granite Works was established in 1937. 

Cullen and Hesta worked and saved for many years to make their monument businesses grow and prosper. Two of their four children, Rynnie D. Sanders and John Cullen "Skipper" Davidson, Jr. joined the family business. Skipper, who has been with the firm in Canton, MS since 1973, is president, his wife Debbie is treasurer and his oldest son Johnny is vice president. 

Grave monuments, memorials and signs made of granite, bronze and marble make up the bulk of sales. However, the Davidsons began selling caskets direct to the public in November 1999 and are genuinely convinced that this new product line will grow more and more in the future. We believe that the selling of caskets and monuments at the same location is a natural mix. Affordable Quality Caskets is a division of Davidson Marble and Granite Works of Canton, MS.
