Local tip
This museum also exhibits the "money-saving" Josephine coffin or "Flap" coffin, which always remained on the surface. The design of this coffin integrated an opening in its base through which the corpse would fall into the grave.
With around 1000 exhibits, the Vienna Funeral Museum gives a comprehensive overview of funeral customs, burial rites, and the special Viennese perspective on death.
Here you can see an exhibition of the development of coffin designs through the ages.
