My brother in law found a wicker basket casket in his tool shed after he bought his house.
There was a logo for "Frigid Fluid Products" on it, so we tried to contact them.
We were successful. They are still in business and make embalming fluid and related equipment. They said it was a "viewing basket", and it was pretty common to have one and display your relative in it in the days before funeral homes.
