The Cooler

These particular coffins were used by Undertakers. When they thought someone had died, they’d put the body in the coffin and set it outside. The wicker would keep the flies and animals off the body and allow the air to circulate in case the person was not, in fact, dead. This particular Victorian wicker coffin is in wonderful condition and a great addition to any Postmortem collection.
