“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.”
Rick Beggs
“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 do know that we have been contacted by FEMA and they are looking for supply for caskets. I do not know how many. We have told them that we would work with them.”
Wendy Wilson
“The family sat at the funeral home for three days expecting Mom to show up, ... When they threw dirt on the casket, they knew she was dead.”
Dolores Johnson
“We had the manpower, and knew where they (the caskets and vaults were), but the challenge was getting over the terrain.”
