Sorry to start a newer thread on this but the other was covering old discussion so I decided to start a new one. The funeral industry has been divied up for decades. Everyone has their own turf. This much I understand...A can't sell their casket in B because B already has a similar product and therefore the FHs that B maintains buys from B..A has to sell to A's FHs...

I got that, despite the federal rules allowing cross selling if the client desires...not an issue...

Vatican offers a Casket....Lets see a Batesville FH deny one to a customer....Most HI funeral homes will WANT to have one just in case IMO...They don't want to lose clients because they do not have a particular casket like this...Being licensed, HI CAN NOT produce anything like it either I believe. MATW wins even without the direct sell...

So, HI has 1-2k people/yr that will go elsewhere for this casket, let say...just my guess...I doubt that happens...HI will buy some instead is my thinking...MATW sees this potential and is in a huge position going forward...

Just gotta wait for MATW to get it up to speed and then watch the marketing kick in..1-2 years down the road MATW could be #1 easy...I think MATW salespeople will have no issues placing these...Its my hope, they stand the funeral industry on its head...
