Question “Only a precaution, son. Dot every i and cross every t, that’s the secret of success. And having God on your side, of course.” When Carter was gone, Big Jim pushed the hold button … and if Stewart wasn’t still there, his butt was going to be in a high sling. Stewart was. “Jim, I’m so sorry for your loss,” he said. Right up front with it, a point in his favor. “We’ll take care of everything. I’m thinking the Eternal Rest casket—it’s oak, good for a thousand years.” Go on and pull the other one, Big Jim thought, but kept silent. “And it’ll be our best work. He’ll look ready to wake up and smile.” “Thank you, pal,” Big Jim said. Thinking, He damn well better. Question: In “Thinking, He damn well better.”, does “he” refer to Stewart, which means he had better do well with Big Jim’s son's body?

Yes, that is what it seems to be saying. Stewart is saying that they will do the best they can with the body, and Big Jim is thinking that they better (because it is his son after all).
