Fascinating how caskets came to be. The Civil War had such a major impact on American life and still does.

I didn't know this. Thank you. Now if they could just do something about the high cost of dying!

It's an interesting subject. When I was a nurse one had to keep doing continuing education each year. One year I did a study on after death stuff and it was held in a big mortuary. Along with the teaching we were taken on a tour of the whole place and everything they could do to meet family needs. I saw a lot of very interesting burial equipment and everything to do with it.
