Artifact of the Week: Wicker Casket

Brown Wicker Casket
Tue, 10/27/2020

Wicker caskets have been used for hundreds of years for their durability and lightweight ease in transportation. They were especially popular during the Victorian Era and Civil War for viewings.

This casket in our collection comes from the Sullivan-King Mortuary and is likely more than 80 years old!
