Company made headstones for Bush
PARSONS Wilbert Funeral Services Inc., made the headstone and vault for the final resting place of former President George H.W. Bush, according to The Parsons Sun. The company, formerly Suhor Industries Inc., also made the headstones for former First Lady Barbara Bush and their daughter, Robin, who died at age 3 in 1953. The Parsons plant also manufactured a white cross to match those found in Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France, because the former president was a World War II veteran. The company also created headstones for President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, and for President Gerald Ford.
