Robert L. Waltrip, a Texas undertaker who bought funeral homes coast to coast to become No. 1 in 'deathcare' has died at 92
As a boy living upstairs from his father’s funeral parlor in Houston, Robert L. Waltrip got early lessons in respect for the grieving. For instance, he learned that bouncing a ball on the floor was inappropriate when a funeral was in progress downstairs.
After taking over that family business, he innovated. Mr. Waltrip noticed that his employees and hearses were idle most of the time as they waited for the phone to ring. His solution was to acquire more funeral homes in Houston and have them share personnel and equipment.
