What kind of casket was Selena buried in?

Answer 1

It seems to be similar to michael jacksons A promethian Bronze from Batesville Casket

It is not a Promethian casket but a Millenium casket made by Batesville. The seemingly gleaming silver casket is actually a highly polished stainless steel with gold plated handles. It can be ordered as a full couch or half couch. Her coffin was a half couch version. It appeared to be gold as seen on television but it was actually highly polished silver. It has been reported incorrectly as chrome and as a Promethean casket. The retail value is at least $23,000 and it is most definately a top of the line casket.

Answer 2

Whitney's casket was the "Millennium," manufactured by Batesville Casket Company. The casket is, as Batesville describes it, jewel polished, or call it a mirror finish. The "Millennium" is made of premium stainless steel. The raw material, stainless steel or bronze, is delivered as a large sheet, rolled into a cylinder.

In the beginning stages of casket manufacturing, the metal is unrolled, flattened, cut into different size sheets and, those sheets are placed into a 5,000 ton press. The press holds master forms which the sheets are pressed into or onto to form different parts of the casket body and top.

The "Millennium" begins as a standard OR7 shell, just like the "Greyson" stainless steel. The stamped sides and ends are welded together, then a bottom is welded in to complete the body, or shell. The "Promethean" is made in the same way, but out of solid bronze metal. The casket components are stamped from a roll of sheet bronze, with a thickness of 48 ounces of bronze per square inch. The "Promethean" begins as a standard "Z64 shell" 48 ounce, sheet bronze casket. But, rather than the shell and top getting a brushed and painted finish, both the "Promethean" and "Millennium" are pulled off the production line and go into labor intensive processes of grinding and polishing by hand, until all welding seams and brazing are worked down, and no longer can be seen. Once gleaming like a mirror, the caskets get a baked clear coat enamel lacquer, and can receive options like 24 karat gold plated swing bar hardware.

Every surface of Whitney's casket was gleaming silver, like chrome. It only appeared to take on bronze or copper colored tones from the ambient light it reflected. No special finish, other than gleaming stainless steel, coated with high grade clear enamel.
