Very nice thread indeed.
Fortunately, I'm leaning toward a view that there is nothing sinister going on here. Though I might be persuaded otherwise if some new information
comes along.
I don't have much time to chase too much detail, but I'll share what I was able to find:
Why Burial Vaults Link.
The largest manufacturer of these vaults appears to be
Wilbert, Inc. You will notice they also own the plastics
company. In fact, my research revealed that at least another two of Wilbert's competitors also own plastics companies.
Looking into the land records of Morgan County, I determined the following:
These are all of the properties owned on
Lions Club Rd. I couldn't get to a parcel map, so I couldn't go much beyond this.
You will notice, however, that
C.R. Bard owns a reasonably sized track of land on Lions Club Rd. My thoughts were
this is likely the property in question, but I don't have any way to confirm that just yet.
One strange thing to note is that with respect to all of the land records available, the CR BARD record is the only one that returns
an error on the "Parcel Details" link.
In any event, I am doubtful that anything sinister is at play here. I'll look forward to reading anything new on this.
Good job folks!
