What company made the casket of Marilyn Monroe?
Marilyn Monroe was buried in an expensive luxury casket which was the top of the line product of the renown Belmont casket company of Columbus, Ohio (with another factory at Shadyside, Ohio), a firm which originally had become famous for its high quality lead-coated, corrosion resistant steel caskets, which were used also for the burials of President Woodrow Wilson and Lyndon Johnson. Marilyn Monroe's casket was a silver finished "Masterpiece" solid bronze casket, which was made of extra strong 15 ga wrought bronze (meaning partially 48 ounce per square foot sheets and partially 64oz sheets), resulting in a casket weight between 300 and 400 lbs empty. The casket had a hermetically sealed double lid, but no additional inner glass panel. The interior was of champagne colored hand tufted velvet with some satin and silk. The "Masterpiece" design, which soon became known as the "Cadillac of Caskets", had been registered by Belmont as trademark in 1957. After the Belmont company had been closed in the 1980s, the "Masterpiece" and some other Belmont designs were bought by the VerPlank casket company of Iron City, Tennessee. Since then, the "Masterpiece" underwent only some very minor changes (with regard to the handles for example). Thus, the silver finished 48oz double lid "Masterpiece twin seal" shown in the VerPlank Online catalog still looks more or less the same as Marilyn Monroe's casket.

What kind of casket was Brooke Astor buried in?
According to the pictures of the funeral, it seems that Brooke Astor was buried in a polished full couch "Concord" hardwood casket hancrafted from 3" and 4" solid mahogany planks by the New England Casket Company. When Heath Ledger was buried in a casket of the same type a year later, the retail price was quoted as US $ 25,000.
Is it still possible to buy caskets of the same type John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe were buried in?
Although the manufacturers of the original caskets of President Kennedy and of Marilyn Monroe are out of business, both designs - with minor changes - are still in production and can be bought either directly or through funeral homes, provided you are willing and able to spend that much money for one of these luxury caskets. The Kennedy part of the question is somewhat more difficult to be answered because for the late President two different caskets had been used. For the transport from Dallas to Washington, DC it was a bronze casket manufactured by the (former) Elgin Casket Company of Elgin, Ill. After this casket had been damaged during the loading / unloading process, it was replaced by a mahogany casket which was used for the burial. President Kennedy's Elgin casket had been a double lid "Handley" model with a "Britannia" (that is: partially brushed) finish and an amber (reddish) transparent tint. A few years after President Kennedy's death, the Elgin Company changed the flaring round corner design of the "Handley" somewhat by giving it a more pronounced urn shape. After Elgin had been bought by the renown mattress producer Simmons in 1968, the "Handley" model was replaced by the Winchester model, which differed from its predecessor only by some embossed ornaments. The casket is manufactured nowadays as "Winchester Twin Lock Amber Britannia" by VerPlank Enterprises of Iron City, TN. The design is shown in the VerPlank Online casket catalog. President Kennedy's second coffin, a mahogany unit, was a very plain round corner design manufactured by the Marsellus Casket Company of Syracuse, NY under the type designation 710. In 1997, the Marsellus family sold the company to SCI (Service Corporation International) of Houston, which in 2003 decided to close down the Marsellus factory. The brand name Marsellus and several of the company's most famous designs - among them the "Seven-Ten" - were bought by the Batesville Casket Company of Hillenbrand Industries. Since then, Batesville has manufactured the "Kennedy casket" under the designation (Marsellus) "President". The Batesville model looks still the same as the Marsellus 710. The main difference consist in the fact that Batesville does no longer offer an almost unlimited choice of outer (casket top / handles / finishes) and inner (textile material and colors of the lining) custom designs. Nowadays, the "President" is available only in a perfection half couch style (split lid) and in a full couch style (undivided lid), but, for example, not with a "hinged cap" top as in the original Kennedy casket. Also, an inner bronze or copper liner is no longer available. It seems that Batesville has strictly limited the choice of available varieties of the "President" design in order to keep the (nevertheless still high) price of the casket within reasonable bounds. The successor models to both "Kennedy caskets" - the VerPlank "Winchester" and the Batesville "President" can be bought both through funeral directors and through several Online casket shops. Marilyn Monroe was buried in a luxury coffin which has been called the "Cadillac of caskets": a silver finished 15 ga / 48 oz (that is: extra strong and heavy) "Masterpiece" bronze casket with a hand tufted champagne colored velvet, satin and silk interior manufactured by the (former) Belmont Casket Company of Columbus, Ohio. The casket was equipped with a hermetically sealing double lid (without inner glass panel). Although the Belmont factory closed down in 1979, the "Masterpiece" design is still in production. It is manufactured nowadays under the same name by VerPlank Enterprises of Tennessee, although the original design underwent a few minor changes: while the beading ornaments of the "Monroe casket" still exist, the swing bar handles look slightly different now. Interestingly however, VerPlank still offers the Masterpiece in 48oz bronze and with a silver finished exterior, which makes the casket a kind of replica of the Monroe casket. Pictures of the "Silver Twin Seal Masterpiece" are shown in the VerPlank Online casket catalog.

Was there a reason J Edgar Hoovers casket was lined in lead?
To protect his body in the event of nuclear war. A more simply reason might be that, perhaps, he was buried in a Belmont casket. The (former) Belmont Casket Company of Columbus, Ohio was famous for its lead coated steel caskets. The lead coating had an anti-corrosion effect, giving the carbon steel properties similar to that of stainless steel. President Lyndon B. Johnson, e.g., was buried in a Belmont lead coated steel casket. Pictures of Hoover's funeral seem to indicate that he might have been buried in one of the double lid Belmont "Masterpiece" caskets, the top of the line model of the company. A solid bronze type of the "Masterpiece" casket (with more ornamental caskets handles than those of J. Edgar's casket) was used for the burial of Marilyn Monroe.
Will a casket cave in when grave is filled with dirt?
It depends on the quality of the casket. Most modern American casket won't. p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120%; }a:link { } The former Belmont Casket Company of Columbus (OH), for example, placed advertisements showing one of their steel caskets with some 50 bags of cement on top in order to demonstrate the capacity of a Belmont casket to withstand the weight an pressure of earth in a grave without the need of an outer burial container to prevent the grave form caving in.

What casket was president Lyndon Johnson buried in?
Quite a few people seem to be convinced that LBJ was buried in an oak casket, maybe because they have seen pictures of his graveside under a group of oak trees on his farm in the Texas Hill Country. But, as a matter of fact, he was buried in velvet lined silver-gray metal casket with dark swing bar handles manufactured by the (former) Belmont Casket Company of Columbus, Ohio. The round corner design of timeless simplicity was probably the "Columbus" model of the renown company, which had the reputation of producing stylish caskets of high quality. Belmont had also manufactured the solid bronze "Masterpiece" casket of Marilyn Monroe, but the company was first of all famous for its lead coated steel caskets, which had a corrosion resistant property. Already President Woodrow Wilson had been buried in a steel casket made by the Belmont company.

Is the Belmont casket company of Columbus in Ohio still in business?
In the 20th century, Belmont was one of the big metal casket producers in the United States and soon gained a reputation of making caskets of high quality. It was best known as manufacturer of lead coated steel caskets; the environmental hazardous lead coating process provided the carbon steel with properties similar to that of stainless steel. The company, whose graphic logo showed a mounted knight carrying a lance, used to advertise the strength of its caskets to withstand the pressure of earth in graves (without burial vault or grave liner) by publishing pictures of one of the Belmont caskets with some 50 bags of cement on top. After the Second World War, Belmont also was renown for the unmatched quality of color advertisements in trade magazines: the casket pictures shown were so impressive that sometimes it was difficult for the real caskets to fully match their appearance in the pictures. Having provided the casket of President Wilson already - an elliptic steel casket covered with dark cloth - Belmont became most famous in the funeral profession when Marilyn Monroe was buried in the top of the line product of the company. Westwood Village Park Chapel had provided a silver finished solid bronze double lid "Masterpiece" hermetical glassless gasket sealer casket with a hand tufted champagne colored velvet interior (with some additional satin and silk lining) for the funeral of the movie star. The "Masterpiece" model used to be manufactured to custom order in a large variety of materials (steel, copper, bronze), various finishes (brushed, polish, painted), many different interior upholstering materials as well as many other design details (various forms of handles and types of lid, available sealed or unsealed, with or without inner glass panel, etc.). The "versatile sealer" design, for example, had a patented double lid which could be arranged in seven different ways. As bronze casket, the "Masterpiece" was made of extra strong and heavy unusual 15 gauge material (meaning that some parts of the casket were made of 14 ga (64 oz) sheets, other parts of 16 ga (48 oz) sheets. The double lid solid bronze "Masterpiece" cost twice as much as the solid mahogany luxury Marsellus 710 casket used for the burial of President Kennedy. Belmont had registered the "Masterpiece" trademark in 1957 - the same year in which another nationally renown funeral service supplier, the Practical Burial Footwear Company, came to Columbus, a city which is also the home address of one of the oldest funeral supply firm, the family owned and operated Clark grave vault company, founded in 1898. In 1973, Belmont provided the casket for President Lyndon Johnson: a silver gray heavily rounded corner design (probably the "Columbus" model) made of lead coated steel. It seems that also the famous FBI boss J. Edgar Hoover was buried in a lead coated Belmont casket (probably a "Masterpiece") in 1972. While the Belmont casket company of Columbus is gone, several of its designs including the famous "Masterpiece" are still in production after having been acquired by VerPlank Enterprises of Iron City, TN. The silver finished "Twin Seal Masterpiece" double lid bronze design, which underwent only a few minor changes since the time of Marilyn Monroe's funeral, can be admired in the Online catalog of that company. As to the history of the company, it should be added that Belmont had come to Columbus in 1916, where it moved into a four story building at 330 W. Spring Street, in the neighborhood of the State Penitentiary. In 1930, corpses from a fire in the penitentiary were stored temporarily in caskets inside the factory. The 175,000-square-foot building, which had been constructed in 1885, was completely redeveloped in recent times, but a few relics of the the old Belmont building with the inscription "Belmont casket company" are still visible today. Belmont also opened another factory building in Shadyside, Ohio to expand its production.
