When former President Calvin Coolidge died in 1933, he was buried in a polished solid bronze casket featuring a round corner design. It had been manufactured by the Elgin Metal Casket Company of Elgin, Ill., which had started building caskets in 1928 and which decades later provided the bronze casket in which President Kennedy was taken from Dallas to Washington. The top of the Coolidge casket had a hinged cap design: it had separately hinged bronze panels and was equipped with a hermetically sealing full length inner oval plate glass lid. Pictures of the casket at the viewing and at the graveside are available on the Internet.
If not in a $ 95 casket, there was at least one president who was buried in a simple $ 195 casket: Dwight D. Eisenhower. His soldier's casket had a rectangular state design and was made of steel with stationary bar handles. The outer color was silver-gray. The interior consisted of ivory colored crepe. At the time of President 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 length oval 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.
