It seems that two European Coffin(casket) makers are are squaring off  using caskets to sell their Calenders. The calender on the left is from an  Italian Casket Maker. The calender on the right is from the Polish Casket maker.

An Italian and Polish coffin maker are having a sexy coffin calender war.

This one is the one technique that Batesville Casket Company has not used  to try to sell their Caskets.

Now The Italian Casket Coffin Maker seems to offer high price handcrafted jobs and the Polish casket makers price seems to be a little less.

The Italian CofaniFunebri calendar is  here and pages  from the  Polish Lindner calendar here

Casket Sales Down 5 million in 2009-Your Funeral Guy

No Gravatar

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Casket Sales are down 5 million  units in 2009. The Funeral Industry has been experiencing  a decline in traditional funeral. This is directly due to a rise in cremation.

Casket Sales were significantly down in 2009

“As their sales slow, some casket makers worry their business is hitting a dead end.

Sales of caskets have been declining for years as more people choose cremation. But the economic slump is compounding the industry’s woes as those who do pick caskets buy cheaper, more spartan accommodations for the hereafter.

In response, casket makers are diversifying, building less expensive models and expanding cremation offerings. The country’s biggest casket maker, Hillenbrand Inc., parent of Batesville Casket, is going outside the funeral business altogether. Earlier this year it said it would spend $435 million to buy K-Tron International Inc., which makes factory equipment.

“We are a very significant player in an industry that isn’t growing,” explains Hillenbrand Chief Executive Ken Camp.”via online.wsj.com

Disrespect for the dead at the Morgue|Your Funeral Guy

Disrespect for the dead in the Morgue is increasingly becoming a problem. There have been reports of corpse abuse of the dead at morgues. It was reported at the New York Post.

“Ghouls are at play in the city’s morgues.

The people employed to respectfully handle the remains of the deceased have instead turned cadavers and body parts into macabre playthings, The Post has learned.

And they shockingly documented their depraved foolery in photos taken as keepsakes.

Grinning mortuary technicians use corpses as props in dozens of disturbing Polaroids obtained by The Post.

Perhaps most disturbing of all is mortuary technician Kaihl Brassfield holding a severed head in a classic Heisman Trophy football pose.

“It was stupid,” Brassfield, 35, told The Post. “It was just the culture there. Everyone was doing it.-via www.nypost.com
