President Eisenhower was buried in a slightly modified regular soldier's casket made of steel, probably manufactured by the (former) Toccoa Casket Company. The casket was of rectangular design; it had the standard silver-gray color, an eggshell crepe interior and stationary bar handles. This standard "soldier's casket" was provided by the US government for its active or retired soldiers for $ 80 at the time.
