For those of you that don’t know, Batesville, Indiana is the Mecca of the Funeral Industry as it houses the great Batesville Casket Company’s Headquarters.

I, and a group of 30 funeral directors from the Philly area, visited the hallowed ground of Batesville a couple years ago and was wined and dined on their guest estate over the course of a three day stay.  When a group of 30 funeral directors get together, the time passes quickly as untold, gruesome and sometimes embellished stories flow as freely the alcohol.

Not only does Batesville have innovative caskets, good food and the like, they also apparently have a morbid sense of humor.

One out of six fatal collisions occur because of distracted driving.  Most distracted driving is somehow related to your cell phone.

So, if you want to support you local funeral director and Batesville, please text your friends and mummy while driving.
