Lincoln was buried in a coffin. Caskets and coffins are different because of the shape. JFK was buried in a casket. Caskets are favored over coffins because they are less creepy.
Jess Basta to embalm means to preserve a body after death and is not limited to filling a body full of fluid as people are familiar with in today’s time. Embalming and mummifying were indeed two separate processes; however, embalming is a step in the process of mummifying a body used by the ancient Egyptians as early as 400 B.C., which pre-dates the Civil War
I’ve seen Lincoln’s actual death mask, it’s at the Lincoln museum in Illinois. There they have a whole recreation of his funeral and it’s a eerily calming scene.
Yet many reported the Lincoln ghost is still in the whitehouse, that would be really freaky. As many tragically murdered who their ghost still frequent Earth are reported to not know they actually died. Thinking they are still around for a cause which sounds right on Lincoln being that he was devoted to end the civil war and it was a few days after his murder when the war declared to be over. I do believe the north was defeating the Confederates in the war yes but after I do not believe most of the Confederates fought to the true end that their aims was for, most John Wilkes Booth was the second hated man on both sides after Lincoln's murder and most Confederates hated booth joining the union on tips to track booth. But with the downfall of the Confederate leadership in the final days and Lincolns death immediantly following stopped the war in my view and Lincoln won this dark time in our history though he paid with his life, he had great support more than people know from the Confederates also. Rest in peace president Lincoln and thank you for being the best president the country has ever had✝️🛐🙏

Call the home and ask for Myra Mains. It's a grave situation. The grave diggers have a lot of work----they're buried. The director has boxed a lot of people although he's not injured because the people are already laid out. The director has to re-hearse before his speech. The people never complain and take it lying down. Digging the grave could be a monumental task. The director has to urn people's respect.

My stepdad dug graves for a living. He was friends with a lot of funeral directors. Every year all of the people who work for the grave services and the funeral directors and all of their families would get together and eat at s place called Charlie Williams in Athens Ga. Very interesting vlog Jacob !!
Charlie Williams was a great restaurant, went out of business several years ago, quite a few celebrities and politicians ate there, met President Carter there and Munson the voice of Ga. Bulldogs.
Something not mentioned in the video is that this museum is actually connected to Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Service. It is a school offering both an Associates Degree in Funeral Directing and Embalming as well as a certification program for funeral directing. It is a great place with instructors who are passionate about this field of work and who are highly experienced. They also offer an online program for people all over the country. Many people visit the museum without even knowing that the school is there.
Fun fact about the money casket, the current owner only lets the museum borrow the casket, and takes it to use for decoration in halloween. I’ve been there for a field trip. We got a discount at the store for filling out some pamphlets at the front with questions about the museum.
I read an account of Lincoln's funeral procession, that being the train that travelled from Washington D.C. to his home in Springfield, Illinois. At each town people lined the tracks to pay their respects to the great President. It was really moving to comprehend the magnitude of Lincoln's life and death and what he meant to the American people in 1865.
Wow, that is within walking distance of an apartment my wife and I lived in back in the late eighties to early nineties when our son was born! When we were there , the museum didn’t exist yet and it was just a school for those wanting to go into the field of being a funeral director.
We must of been neighbors back then, I moved to Houston in 87 and lived in Northern Oaks apartments off of Ella Dr. thanks for mentioning that it was a school, I thought that it was a funeral school before the museum.
Those pets were the owners and actors friend of every movie they were in. They're showing a video of all the animals that have died over the years from different movies. Like the dog that played Lassie. Your comment is funny though! 😆
Having worked in the Funeral Industry many years, I found this video quite interesting. May have to make a trip to that museum one day. Thank you for sharing.
My wife and I visited the museum and the inside was a little different than the time this video was made. They had an exhibit added about George Bush and his funeral, and there's an encased model of the funeral train which I thought was pretty cool (that would certainly be a prized collectible item for a model train aficionado). One room had a bunch of funeral pamphlets displayed which came from the funerals of many famous people. One exhibit which really caught my eye was a hand carved wooden hearse which is over 100 years old, and it's beautiful. I didn't really feel anything morbid about visiting this museum, and it was quite an interesting experience. I bought a fridge magnet with a saying "Any day above ground is a good day", and that's a great reminder to appreciate your life as you go through times good and bad.

Robin Williams hiking boots from the movie “RV”, so cool to see but sad to know he is gone too soon😢. This was such a cool video to see many different things about the dead.
@Everyone. Robin Williams was a punk. He committed suicide. What a idiot. He gave up on life, as an old fan of his I'd have to say i lost all respect for Robin Williams...
Clayton Dennis He had depression. That’s what you don’t see about him on how he felt on the inside even if he was a famous celebrity. Celebrities go through the same mental illness we do. So idk why you’d speak such nonsense of him if you used to be a fan. Just because someone kills themself due to mental illness doesn’t make them weak. I hope you understand that.
@@claytondennis5245 He had lower body dementia, an aggressive form of a disease I can't remember the name of. And you know the saying people have masks, he hid a sad side under his comedic happy self, and to say you lost respect for him just because he knew his time was about to be over? Thats like saying "Oh ill stop selling Ernest hemingway books just because he killed himself".

Remember that episode of South Park when Kenny died and was cremated? Cartman thought that the urn was a container for chocolate milk mix. He drank it in his milk, and got haunted by the ghost of Kenny.

Funeral, bodies, anything about death fascinates me... IDK Why... My dream job would be to work in a funeral home!!! The videos you do like this are my favorite!!!
Found your video surprising to say the least. Enjoyed hearing what traditions were observed. Thank you for putting so much time into researching before making videos. Please keep them coming.
I was the sculptor for a company in St Petersburg FL that made a full scale working replica of Lincoln's funeral carriage. I recreated the ornamentation on the sides. That was cool to see in this video.
First time I've seen your site. The museum looks fascinating. I was a florist for 15 years and one of my great grand fathers was a funeral director in Jersey City, NJ. If I am ever able to get to Houston, this would be @ the top of my must see list. I've always found mortuary history very interesting. Great post. 👍👍
15:09- Oohhh yeeeessss! I love The Undertaker and still is one of my favorite wrestlers. Its rather fitting Paul would have a display at this museum even including one of the incarnations of the iconic urn.
The WWE has been looking for memorabilia from the past--including one certain urn linked to the Undertaker. I don't recall the specifics....seems there were several used but one has yet to be found.
Nice to know that there is a replica of my body in there.

The most amazing thing to me is that Lincoln's body "toured" the United States for 2 weeks.
What? Why is that?
The craziest is that its still never been found
Lincoln was embalmed at every stop on his funeral tour. By the time he got to his destination, his face was very dark bronze color.
Wasn't there ice involved in Lincoln's funeral
@@blackivy8200 ... Never found??? He's buried in Springfield, IL.

Come to the Grammy Museum in Cleveland,MS. There is also the famous BB King Museum in Indianola,MS 30 minutes away.
I live in Cleveland, MS and I don’t think people appreciate that museum so much
2:40 I've actually seen the real derringer. It's in the basement museum of the refurbished ford theater.
I've been to Ford's numerous times already. It's crazy how something small can end Lincoln's life.
very respectful of you to speak quietly and respectfully at this museum hah
The horse-drawn hearse for Lincoln’s funeral is in Tallahassee, FL at the antique car museum.
Wow! Thank You for this video, l live in Arlington,next time we go to Galveston we are going to go check this out! God Bless You!
Carpetbagger, this is my very favorite of all your tours! I have a fascination with the death/ burial thing. Thanks! Keep up the good work!💜
I am fascinated by this too. Check out Ask a Mortician on youtube. She has all kinds of great videos on this topic.
@@cherilg88 I know. I watch her, too.😁
What a cool place to visit, those hearses and caskets are amazing!
I know it’s hard to choose a favorite
Oh never knew that was here in Houston, I will pay this place a visit soon
There used to be a really interesting Funeral History museum in Springfield Illinois ..near the Lincoln Memorial .. sadly the Museum closed
I remember reading that Batesville Casket company makes 1,000 caskets a day. That is really pushing some work out!
Another awesome video! Thank you for inspiring us to get out and explore this strange and amazing world we live in. Keep up the great work and happy travels :)
Remember that episode of South Park when Kenny died and was cremated? Cartman thought that the urn was a container for chocolate milk mix. He drank it in his milk, and got haunted by the ghost of Kenny.
The victorian mourning house is just breathtaking.
YES THIS IS MORBID BUT IT'S FASCINATING & INTERESTING AT THE SAME TIME ! ! ! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Thank you. I live in Houston and regularly visit the Funeral Museum. Watching this during quarantine, and it’s nice to feel like I get to visit still.
Went to this museum on a whim a couple years ago. I wasn’t disappointed. Really interesting place to visit and learn.
Your channel is so underrated man! Keep up the good work watching your videos always makes me want to get out there and see new things! Awesome awesome job brother!
I would actually love to visit there.
Funeral, bodies, anything about death fascinates me... IDK Why... My dream job would be to work in a funeral home!!! The videos you do like this are my favorite!!!
Found your video surprising to say the least. Enjoyed hearing what traditions were observed. Thank you for putting so much time into researching before making videos. Please keep them coming.
"Henchmen of the pope" 😂
Love it!
When I die, I’m getting buried in a crab.
It’s the down the road from where I live. It’s an amazing place to learn!
I was the sculptor for a company in St Petersburg FL that made a full scale working replica of Lincoln's funeral carriage. I recreated the ornamentation on the sides. That was cool to see in this video.
I like your way of presenting this. Natural and professional. I enjoyed watching this very interesting video.
I'm so glad I was recommended this. I love it,
This is so neat! I'll probably never get to see it in person, so thank you so much for sharing.
I live in Houston and go to this museum often, there is so much to see and also my mortuary school is attached to it.
Great video. Fascinating stuff. I actually met George Barris at his shop in Burbank.
Thank you Jacob, that was a great tour! Did not know this place existed! ⚰⚱😊💜
I went to the museum on my birthday about 7 years ago...interesting!
6:09 that does not look like a 1922 hearse maybe 72 but no 22 lol
Brendan Walsh I think it was a 1983. I saw it advertised on EBay.
“.....cupcakes for Ronald Reagan - of course he was deceased at the time” - he is still deceased!
I thought he was still riding his horse with the secret service. Virginia, don't tell me bad news that I do not believe. That's wrong of you.
In the words of the immortal (but late) presidential candidate Patrick Leighton Paulson, "Picky, picky, picky."
First time I've seen your site. The museum looks fascinating. I was a florist for 15 years and one of my great grand fathers was a funeral director in Jersey City, NJ. If I am ever able to get to Houston, this would be @ the top of my must see list. I've always found mortuary history very interesting. Great post.
👍👍
Hello.. I love any type of history. I just stumbled upon your channel. I am new and just subscribed to your channel..🎉🎉💯🎉
Great vid! What happened to the livestream last night?
Been there. The place was down the street from where I used to work.
FASCINATING STUFF & GREAT UPLOAD FROM CARPETBAGGER ! ! !
the reason why they had a pack of cigarettes at robert hegyes funeral was because he smoked only marlboro black menthol
15:09- Oohhh yeeeessss! I love The Undertaker and still is one of my favorite wrestlers. Its rather fitting Paul would have a display at this museum even including one of the incarnations of the iconic urn.
The WWE has been looking for memorabilia from the past--including one certain urn linked to the Undertaker. I don't recall the specifics....seems there were several used but one has yet to be found.
I love the undertaker too the urn has not been found
