Historic Spanish Point in Osprey, Florida is re-enacting a Victorian funeral for Halloween. (Some people know how to have fun.) A few weeks ago Kara Pallin from over there called me up and asked if I could make them a casket in the Victorian style. I told her that if she could show me a few pictures of the kind of thing she was looking for I could probably cook it up. Well, I just thought I'd show a few pictures.

Ok, that's it. Oh, by the way, while they are often used interchangeably, a casket is usually rectangular in shape while a coffin is the elongated trapezoid of this one.
Anybody who's interested, just hop in.
