President Garfield's coffin was set in full view in the downstairs crypt. Thirty six years later Lucretia was placed by his side. The tomb is unique in that the caskets are visible suggesting a permanent visitation or a laying in state. It is easy to tell one from the other as the Presidents casket is always draped with a brightly colored American flag.

What is interesting to me about the picture is the two urns. Are those the cremated ashes of Garfield and his wife? Their children? Favorite pets? Are there any bodies in the caskets at all or are they just for display purposes.

Lots of people are never buried, but are placed in a tomb or crypt. They're simply "entombed" rather than being "interred."

Because he is in a crypt.
