Victorian Coffin

Skull casket

Tucked away in a London cemetery lie the beautiful old coffins of Victorian gentry. Wealthy families could choose handsomely decorated lead-lined coffins for their loved ones, to rest on open shelves. Some cemeteries even charged a small fee for Victorian visitors to view the coffins. Their relatives themselves have long-since passed leaving the catacombs neglected.
