| | National Museum of Funeral History, Houston, Texas |
 | | One room, the size of an aircraft hanger, is used for Museum exhibits (the rest are meeting and classrooms for a funeral school, "Undertakers University"), but what this place lacks in ambiance it makes up for in the scope of its collection. |
 | | Best of all is the huge 1916 Packard funeral bus, created to eliminate funeral processions, which could carry the coffin, pallbearers, and 20 mourners. |
 | | A "Funerals of the Famous" gallery with clippings and souvenirs recalls the sendoffs of Elvis, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Gandhi, Lindbergh, Jackie, Eva Gabor, Judy Garland, even John Denver. |
