A Soldier's Casket
A few details can be added with regard to the "soldier's casket".
It was a square state design made of steel with stationary bar handles.
The outer color was silver-gray. The interior consisted of eggshell colored crepe.
Probably, the (former)Toccoa casket company had been the manufacturer.
At the time of Eisenhower's death (1969), the US government provided this casket
at a price of $ 80 for the funeral of its active or retired soldiers. The former president had expressed his will to be buried in one of these simple caskets. Nevertheless, he got a "special edition" because the standard military casket was custom equipped for him with an inner full glass lid to give it the feature of a hermetical seal, making it air and water tight. The additional price for this extra feature was $ 115. Thus, Dwight D. Eisenhower was buried in a $ 195 casket.

Why can't there be two people in a coffin?
The use of a coffin is ritualistic to begin with; dead bodies do not really need to be protected since there is nothing more than can happen to them. So if you wanted to, you could certainly put two or more bodies in a coffin. You could also cremate the bodies and the resulting ash would take up much less space, and you might put the ash from a thousand cremated bodies in a single coffin. But the tradition of burying one body per coffin is simply intended to display respect for the person being buried, who is thereby shown to be important enough to be buried in an expensive piece of furniture that is reserved just for that person alone, despite the fact that once dead, people will never even know what kind of burial or funerary arrangements they had.
