Established in Boyertown, PA in 1893, the Boyertown Burial Casket Company was at one time one of the largest casket manufacturers in the world.
Renowned for its impeccable craftsmanship and innovative designs, the company was the first casket company publicly traded on both the New York and the Philadelphia stock exchange. It also was the burial casket of choice for numerous celebrities including Marilyn Monroe, Will Rogers, Liberace and Robert F. Kennedy.
Even world famous magician Harry Houdini commissioned the Boyertown company to create a casket for an escape act. He was later buried in that very coffin after his untimely death in 1926.
Unfortunately, after 96 years in the business, the Boyertown Burial Casket Company closed its doors and laid its company to rest in 1988.
This beautiful 1930s casket photo is a wonderful relic from the company's heyday and would be a great addition to any funerary collection!
Printed on heavy card stock, this image would have been part of a larger salesman's sample set designed to show customers their casket options.
