Overview

Matthews International might not bury its competition, but it can supply the casket and bronze marker. The nation's leading maker of cremation equipment and urns, bronze memorials (including Elvis Presley's Graceland marker), and commemorative products (Baseball Hall of Fame plaques), Matthews also builds mausoleums. Subsidiaries The York Group (the #2 casket maker in the US) and Milso make metal and wood caskets while Matthews Cremation Division is North America's top cremation equipment maker. Other subsidiaries offer graphic design, packaging, and merchandising services. Matthews has operations in Asia, Australia, Canada, and Europe, but the US accounts for more than 60% of its sales.
