Although it sounds bizarre, this museum actually provides an interesting look at the customs surrounding burial practices. View funeral memorabilia and artifacts that belonged to famous political and celebrity personalities in the "Funerals of the Famous" section of the museum. Equally intriguing is the "coffin" room that is filled with out-of-the-ordinary coffin themes, including giant fish, cars and a full-size replica of King Tut's sarcophagus.
