“Hillenbrand Industries does hospital beds and caskets. So it's vertical integration, as we like to say, ... It's one of these forgotten names -- I shouldn't say forgotten, but less-known names. They've done very well in the first quarter. In our personal portfolio, it's been one of our best picks. Again, it's a name that's not a household name. Not many people want to talk about that stuff -- it's not an exciting business -- but it's a stock that's done very well, [and is] probably going to be a value play, a defensive type play.”
John Hughes
“I see rows of caskets lining up in front of this TV set... and I see actual loved ones picking up the hands of the dead and letting them touch the screen and people are getting raised.”
Benny Hinn
“We already have arrangements with the funeral director. The casket is bought. The stone is half paid for.”
Allen Jackson
“I went to her funeral and they had her and her baby in the casket together. That baby didn't have a chance to live or be loved.”
Earl Jordan
“An old Polish frog... with a huge casket of jewels... and she clicks her teeth and shrugs, "Only Rubbish. Much more in Paris."”
Cecil Beaton
“We were dispatched to the area of Lake Charles and Abbeville-Lafayette as a casket-recovery strike team.”
Lynn Yeates
“Prior to 1850, caskets were like Dracula's; they were widest at the shoulder and narrowed down. When they dug a grave, they dug down to a point and then they dug the hole to match the shape of the coffin. This produced a shoulder of undisturbed soil, the coffin ledge, that the archeologist was probing. I tried it, and it takes quite some skill.”
