glass coffin
Yes, there have been instances of individuals being buried in glass coffins, though they are quite rare. One notable example is the burial of a young woman named Maria de las Mercedes in Spain in the late 19th century, whose glass coffin was displayed in a mausoleum. These glass coffins are often used more for display purposes rather than traditional burial practices, as they allow for viewing the deceased.

I understand the casket was lead-lined, with a glass viewing window. This was discussed during the televised coverage of the funeral. Addition: Diana's coffin was made of oak with an inner metal liner made of lead. The liner had a glass viewing window.
