Gawler's is still in business although now owned by SCI, one of the largest chains of funeral industry services. Gawler's has handled many Presidents and dignitaries including General Dwight D. Eisenhower, President Kennedy and a host of others.

A point of reference, SCI is a national based corporation that buys out local funeral homes and sometimes keeps the former owners on staff to give the illusion of a "family owned business". The reality is many operations are centralized.
