Excellent discussion of Fisk coffins Jon N. Austin is the Executive Director of the Museum of Funeral Customs in Springfield, Illinois. We met at the iron coffin display in the museum, depicted at the right, where we discussed the Fisk Metallic Burial Case in the collection. We also talked about funerary customs during the 19th century, and the age-old fear and fallacy of being buried alive.
