PROFILE |
 |
The York Group might like its managers to think outside the box, but it prefers its clients to stay in the box. The nation's #2 casket maker -- after Hillenbrand's Batesville Casket -- produces metal and wood caskets, memorials and plaques, and cremation containers. (Cremation is the industry's hot trend -- a quarter of US deaths are handled this way.) York is staking its vitality on an incentive program designed to boost sales via independent funeral homes. Its caskets are sold almost entirely in the US through company-owned and independent distributors. Wilbert, Inc. owns 14% of York; its offers to buy the rest were rebuffed. Instead, York has agreed to be bought by memorial-products maker Matthews International.
