Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has done an interesting article on The Funeral Corporation Matthews International and the Funeral Industry

The Funeral Corporation Matthews International is gaining income from Non funeral Services and products. In actuality it is more than half it’s income.This has been reported in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. This is another indication of Traditional Funeral  Industry Demise and the rise of cremation.

“But while Matthews International is best known for items it supplies for the death care industry, the company is benefiting from a lesser-known part of its business that has come to produce nearly half its annual revenue.

Matthews creates products that stamp expiration dates on toothpaste, liquor and other household items. It provides point-of-sale displays for national retailers.”via www.post-gazette.com
