Health Cost brings Funeral Cost but your death Bed and Casket?

It is more than obvious that if your health costs skyrocket and your very sick your family may incur funeral cost. It is quite eerie to think that the same company that charges you for your death bed( health cost) charges you for your casket(funeral cost).

Here is some info on Hillenbrand Industries, Inc

“Hillenbrand Industries (NYSE: HB), headquartered in Batesville, includes two wholly owned companies: Hill-Rom Co., a manufacturer of equipment for the health care industry, and Batesville Casket Co., a manufacturer and supplier of burial caskets.”

Recently my wife was hospitalized and to my shock she almost died. Shocking too was the almost death bed was a product of Hill-Rom. As a funeral director i know that the #1 casket company is Batesville Casket Co.

Both companies are owned by Hillenbrand Industries, Inc.

So the company that grabs your health cost also grabs your funeral cost.
