Aaliyah Haughton was buried in one of the last copper deposit models manufactured by the former National casket company of Boston. The type designation was # 20761, a double lid model with lavish ornamental corners, a hand tufted premium velvet interior and a silver plated exterior. Unlike standard copper caskets which are welded from 32 oz or 48 oz (ounces per square foot) sheets of wrought copper (resulting in an empty weight between 200 and 300 lbs), copper deposit casket are made in a time consuming process by which copper molecules are deposited on a casket form. The famous National copper deposit caskets had no joints or welding seams nor did the attachments of the handles penetrate the casket walls. Copper deposit caskets have unusually thick walls of 1/8" (3 mm) resulting in a weight between 600 and 800 lbs empty. The funeral pictures show that at least eight pall bearers were needed to carry Aaliyah's casket. In the 1970s, the price of copper deposit caskets, which are no longer manufactured in the US, was about 10 to 12 times that of a standard 32 oz sheet copper casket. The optional silver plating of the exterior added around 25 % to the basic price of the luxury casket. Other celebrities buried in National copper deposit caskets (of somewhat different design) were for example President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Elvis Presley and the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst.

What company manufactured Aaliyah's casket?
Batesville The answer "Batesville" needs correction: Aaliyah was buried in one of the last seamless solid copper deposit caskets (units made from electrolytically deposited copper instead of welded sheets of wrought copper) manufactured by the (former) National Casket Co. of Boston. This was a very exclusive casket, extremely heavy (over 600 lbs - two to three times the weight of a standard sheet copper casket) and extraordinarily expensive - ten to twelve times as much as a standard copper sheet casket. Aaliya's casket cost even an extra 20% to 25% more than a "simple" copper deposit casket because it had a silver plated exterior.

Did Aaliyah have her casket open?
I highly doubt it due to severity of the injuries her and her entourage received from the plane crashing. The coroner will have a autopsy done and if the morgution declares it orange then neither the family or the public will be allowed to view the body. Only people such as the parents can petition to view the body and even then the petition can be denied. From my understanding Aaliyah was burned extremely badly and her body was contorted so i doubt very strongly that the funeral was open casket. They had pictures of her everywhere and to the left of the casket but it was closed the entire time. i think about Aaliyah,you 're right after a crash ,the body is severely injuried ,a crash car or a crash plane this is the same result.it was better that everybody and her family remember Aaliyah in a good record,alive,with joy.i saw my mother dead and she was different,the body change with the death.to remember Aaliyah alive was a good choice for her relatives.the death was so unwaited and tragical that everybody were shocked!!!!! Aaliyah was very loved and will always be remembered no because she was burned so badly her family didn't want it open There might be also a "yes" a n d "no" answer because of the type of casket used in Aaliya's funeral. She had one of the last seamless solid copper deposit caskets (units made from electrolytically deposited copper instead of welded sheets of copper) manufactured by the former National Casket Co. of Boston, Mass. This was a very exclusive casket, extremely heavy (around 800 lbs) and extraordinarily expensive - topped only by cast bronze units. This type of casket was also used for the funerals of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and for Elvis Presley (though in their cases round corner designs had been chosen instead of the more female looking urn-shaped design used in her case). Aaliya's casket had even a silver plated finish adding to the high price. In addition to that, it was a double lid casket: under the undivided outer top there was a divided inner lid. (There is a picture of such an opened copper deposit casket on Flickr.) This would have made it possible to open the outer lid during the funeral ceremony while keeping the inner lid closed. This is sometimes done in cases of mutilated bodies: it allows the mourners to place flowers and last gifts into the casket of the deceased while being spared seeing the mutilated face. If this was the case with Aaliyah's funeral, it would have been correct to speak of a closed casket as well as of an open casket.

Did the singer Aaliyah have an open casket funeral?
Aaliyah's casket was closed; she died in an airplane crash. The plane burst into flames immediately after hitting the ground; almost every corpse that was found was badly burned and mangled. The coroner's autopsy report states that she suffered severe burns, a blow to the head, and severe shock. She had a heart attack during the time the plane was going down. The report said she was found an estimated 10 - 15 feet away from the plane. After medics and police finished searching the debris for any more belongings or bodies, they said that Aaliyah's chair had been ejected from the burning plane while she was still strapped into it and had landed yards away from the crash. When police and Bahamian officials found her, she was curled up on her left side, like she was bracing herself. Her head was between her legs and her hair had been completely singed off.

Was Aaliyah's casket made of pure gold?
Press photos taken in black & white showing Aaliyah's shining metallic casket can give the impression that it was made of pure gold. But actually it was a silver plated copper deposit coffin. After the death of American singer Aaliyah Dana Haughton (caused in 2001 as a result of a plane crash on the Bahamas), the renown Frank E. Campbell funeral home of Manhattan provided the casket for her funeral. Aaliyah's relatives chose a very rare and exclusive model - one of the last available copper deposit models manufactured by the former National casket company of Boston, Mass. The type designation was # 20761, a double lid model with lavish ornamental corners and a silver plated exterior. Unlike standard copper caskets which are welded from 32 oz or 48 oz (ounces per square foot) sheets of wrought copper (resulting in an empty weight between 200 and 300 lbs), copper deposit casket are made in a time consuming process by which copper molecules are deposited on a casket form. The National copper deposit caskets had no joints or welding seams nor did the attachments of the handles penetrate the casket walls.

The optional silver plating of the exterior added around 25 % to the basic price of the luxury casket. Other celebrities buried in National copper deposit caskets were for example President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Elvis Presley, newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst and religious leader Elijah Muhammad. If manufactured today, one of these National copper deposit caskets would be much more expensive than Michael Jackson's "golden" casket, which actually was a polished 48 oz bronze Batesville "Promethean" casket with 14 karat gold plated handles.
