Batesville Casket Company manufactures caskets and cremation urns. The company was a subsidiary of Hillenbrand, Inc. until its divestiture in 2023[1] and is headquartered in Batesville, Indiana.
The company operates three manufacturing plants in Batesville, Indiana,[2] Chihuahua, Mexico, and Manchester, Tennessee, and a woodworking factory in Vicksburg, Mississippi, that supplies wood to the factory in Chihuahua.
The company was established in 1884, when John A. Hillenbrand began producing handmade wooden caskets.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". These caskets had ornate carvings made by casket and furniture companies.[3] In 1906, Hillenbrand purchased the failing Batesville Coffin Company, and renamed it to Batesville Casket Company.[4]
The company's successful business strategy was noted by George Stalk, a Boston Consulting Group writer, in 2004:Template:Quote
