Batesville Casket Company manufactures caskets and cremation urns. The company was a subsidiary of Hillenbrand, "Inc." until its divestiture in 2023 and is headquartered in Batesville, Indiana.
The company operates three manufacturing plants in Batesville, Indiana, Chihuahua, Mexico, and Manchester, Tennessee, and a woodworking factory in Vicksburg, Mississippi, that supplies wood to the factory in Chihuahua.
The company was established in 1884, when John A. Hillenbrand began producing handmade wooden caskets. These caskets had ornate carvings made by casket and furniture companies. In 1906, Hillenbrand purchased the failing Batesville Coffin Company. And renamed it to Batesville Casket Company.
