Abstract: A funeral casket which includes a video display unit capable of playing a recording or other message containing visual images, and audio if desired, at a funeral service. The recorded message may portray selected events during the life of the deceased and is intended to be observed by mourners at the casket so as to aid mourners in coping with their sadness by helping them to more vividly recall the deceased, and hopefully, times of happiness in his or her life. In one embodiment a support member is movably connected to the funeral casket and is structured and disposed to support a video display unit thereon. The preferred support member comprises a lid structure sized and configured to be interchangeable with one of two separate lid portions commonly found on most funeral caskets.
