Bestattungsmuseum
-
For the Viennese, death seems to be an extension of life and funerals are done in style. In this small Undertakers’ Museum all kinds of funereal objects are on view. One of the less respectful items is the 18th-century “re-usable coffin” – its hinged bottom meant that the corpse could be dropped into the grave, leaving the coffin ready for the next customer.
