MARSELLUS CASKET COMPANY

MARSELLUS CASKET COMPANY

ounded in 1872 and regarded as the “Rolls Royce of caskets,” Marsellus Casket Company has a long history of making fine wood caskets including ones for notables such as Presidents Kennedy, Nixon, Truman and Reagan, Governor Nelson Rockefeller and sports legends Vince Lombardi and Mickey Mantle. On May 29, 2003 the last casket rolled off the line as the company

went out of business – a model 710, “The President,” a mahogany casket polished to a high gloss and lined with pearl-colored velvet. The National Museum of Funeral History became its proud owner and is proud to display the company’s exceptionally fine workmanship.
