Astral’s Sales Force Continues to Expand
Gregg Phillips
Tim Tarran
Reggie Williams
Don Arndt
LYNN,IN—
Astral Industries, Inc.,
the Lynn, IN based manufacturer of
20 gauge, 18 gauge and stainless steel
burial caskets, is pleased to announce
the addition of four seasoned sales rep-
resentatives to their national sales force.
All four salesmen completed Astral’s ex-
tensive month long training program at
the Lynn corporate offices before being
placed in their respective territories.
Gregg Phillips,
based in the Akron,
OH region, brings over a decade of ex-
perience in the funeral industry to his
new role as an Astral sales rep. Gregg
has a proven track record of exempla-
ry customer care and account manage-
ment, and he has blended seamlessly
with the Ohio sales team. In his free
time, Gregg enjoys traveling and work-
ing on his golf game.
Tim Tarran
joins the Chicago, IL
business center. Tim also comes to As-
tral with several decades in the funeral
industry, and brings his experience as a
funeral director to his interactions with
customers in the Chicago region. Tim
also is very active in several local civic
and fraternal organizations.
Reggie Williams
comes to Astral
with a strong background as an experi-
enced sales professional as he joins the
Stockton, CA business center. Reggie is
familiar with the Northern California
region both professionally and person-
ally, having previously worked in the
territory as well as living in the region.
Reggie looks forward to creating and
nurturing relationships with the funer-
al homes in his territory, and when not
working is extensively involved with
several local youth athletic programs.
Don Arndt
also is at the Stockton
business center. With almost thirty
years in the funeral industry, Don’s
wealth of knowledge and wide net-
work of connections will allow him
to be a major asset to his current cus-
tomers. His positive, professional ap-
proach and solid industry background
will serve him in good stead as he rep-
resents Astral to the funeral homes in
the northern section of the Stockton
territory.
“I’m pleased to welcome our new
salesmen to the Astral family,” said
Charlie Shaw,
CEO of Astral Indus-
tries. “We have a really great team of
folks out there, ready to serve the fu-
neral directors and their families with
products that offer high eye appeal and
the best possible value.”

MORRILTON,AR—
Rosewood Classic Coach
is proud
to announce their latest funeral coach design, The Grand
O’Vale. The Grand O’Vale uniquely incorporates and
combines design elements from the horse drawn funeral
coach era, with the “Golden Age” of 1930’s automotive
styling. Like all Rosewood Classics, its chassis is based
upon late model Chevrolet truck with all modern elec-
tronic fuel injected engines and overdrive transmissions.
The Grand O’Vale features a 7 foot oval window, designed
to showcase the casket in an awe inspiring “picture” frame.
The Grand O’Vale also has an optional glass back door to re-
veal the casket and floral tribute as well as to allow additional
light to help create that unforgettable memory picture.
Other unique features of the Rosewood Classic Coach
designs are the rear church truck storage compartment;
rear door sound system for graveside and background
music as well as the side-slide storage compartment that
discretely stows and conceals underneath the casket floor
all of the equipment funeral directors traditionally “pile”
