For the late Martin Luther King two caskets were used. After his violent death, he was placed in a solid bronze half couch (split lid) casket in Memphis. In Atlanta, this casket was exchanged against a full couch hardwood casket (probably a solid cherry unit) which had a hermetically sealing inner bronze or copper liner with a full length oval glass lid.
