Santa Cruz Memorial has the distinguished honor of presenting, before its final installation in a permanent museum collection, an exact replica of Abraham Lincoln’s coffin. Their exhibit will feature authentic Victorian mourning decor around the funeral home, cemetery entrance, and viewing bier. The exhibit will include information about 18th-century mourning practices and the elaborate traveling funeral of America’s 16th President, Abraham Lincoln. The date of the exhibit coincides with the actual date of Lincoln’s arrival in Springfield, Illinois, on May 3 and his burial at Oak Ridge Cemetery on May 4, 1865.
