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.
