The ProConPundit loves anyone
who gets buried in this casket!


The Promethean is made by Batesville Casket Co., of Batesville, Indiana. Batesville is the largest American manufacturer of caskets. A decade ago or so, they acquired Marsellus Casket Co., the premier casket manufacturer of hardwood caskets in the U.S. Presidents Kennedy, Reagan, and Ford are all buried in Marsellus caskets. Aurora Casket Co., of Aurora, Indiana is the second largest manufacturer of American caskets. Aurora acquired Clarksburg Casket Co., the runner up to Marsellus as fine hardwood caskets. The Promethean is a 14 karat gold plated casket with a dark blue velvet interior and a hand-polished, mirror finish. The wholesale cost alone is around 25k.
