Caskets are often placed at funeral homes on consignment. After they are taken out of storage at the funeral home, the funeral home director must report the usage to the manufacturer and pay for the casket. However, if they fail to report it and if the manufacturer does not check their offsite inventory periodically, the evidence (casket) is buried and difficult to track.

Matrix Product Development can supply a radio frequency identification tag (RFID tag) that is affixed to each casket under a plastic emblem. An RFID tag reader could be placed at each funeral home supply room to report inventory to the manufacturer as it is being removed from the supply room in real time. This can lead to earlier payments and the minimization of lost payments thereby increasing accounting accuracy and achieving higher profits.
