Did the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright design caskets too and are they still available today?

Probably not, although there have been many rumours that Frank Lloyd Wright designed three caskets. The most persistent rumor is that the "Marquet" casket originally produced by the former Clarksburg Casket Company was designed by him. The "Marquet" (a misspelling of Marquette) is a moderately modernistic looking solid mahogany casket with inlays and integrated handles; it comes with a velvet interior. After Clarksburg was bought by the Aurora Casket Company in 2000, the new owner moved the hardwood factory from West Virginia to Tennessee, but kept the "Marquet" design in production. Even if it has not been designed by FLW, one surely say that the beautiful (and expensive) "Marquet" casket represents a furniture style which certainly could have been designed by the famous Frank Lloyd Wright.


How do you make a cardboard coffin or casket?

You can make a cardboard coffin or casket using a leftover refrigerator box. Just cut the sides of the box down to create a smaller box and then paint the box to look like wood. You can add pillows to the interior of the box to make it more "coffin-like."


Was the name braveheart actually assigned to William Wallace or was it a mythical pseudonym for Robert the Bruce?

"Braveheart" is a term generally connected to Robert the Bruce's heart. Not so. This correction is itself based on a fallacy. While Sir James Douglas' mission furth of Scotland with King Robert's heart in a silver casket is historical, the gesture with the casket is purely legendary as are any words ascribed to Douglas in his fatal encounter with the Moors of Granada. In any case, the poems that gave rise to this myth either describe the gesture as occurring at the beginning of the battle at Teba or repeatedly in numerous battles in the Holy Land. In each case Douglas recovers the heart and rides on. In no version of Douglas' speech does the term 'Braveheart' appear.Sir Walter Scott was responsible for creating the story of Douglas, in extremis, hurling the casket with Bruce's heart into the midst of the enemy, which appeared in his 'Tales of a Grandfather' (1827).Logic inconveniently suggests that, the only surviving witnesses of the fight being Andalusi or Berber soldiers, no one would have understood Douglas' last words, far less recorded them for posterity.
