I think that the plastic coffin conspiracy is nothing more than a misunderstood burial company from Wyoming.

Parent Company: Rowan Technologies, Inc
.Vantage Products Corporations was founded in 1978. The plant was a research and development facility of Hercules, Inc. before being purchased.
Initially, manufacturing was small and included custom furniture parts, door skins and burial vaults, but the company grew very rapidly, and over time dropped other products to focus on the funeral products industry as their expertise and market share expanded. Vantage owns huge injection molding machines that can adapt to unique applications, ideal for the funeral products industry.
Vantage is now located and headquartered in a new, state-of-the-art 100,000 square foot facility in Covington, Georgia. The facility is home to two new injection molding machines, robotic painting systems, R & D, as well as ample storage and shipping facilities.

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 conjunction with the company's R&D growth initiative, C.R. Bard opened two new facilities. In 2006, a 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility opened its doors in Humacao, Puerto Rico to support production growth and new product acquisitions. The facility currently manufactures products for the Davol unit, Bard Peripheral Vascular and Bard Access Systems. In early 2007, a 104,000-square-foot sterilization facility opened in Madison, GA to help facilitate quicker sterilization for all the company's products, as the site's location is only a few miles from Bard's global distribution center.
[Acquisitions also figured heavily into Bard's strategy for continued growth. In January 2006, the company acquired self-expanding nitinol stent technology from Gainesville, FL-based Parallel Simulation Technology LLC. Along with this acquisition, Bard purchased Venetec International Inc., a manufacturer of StatLock catheter securement products, in March 2006 for $166 million. Bard's medical division, located in Covington, GA, now markets the line. /ex]
