Aaliyah Haughton was buried in one of the last copper deposit models manufactured by the former National casket company of Boston. The type designation was # 20761, a double lid model with lavish ornamental corners, a hand tufted premium velvet interior and a silver plated exterior. Unlike standard copper caskets which are welded from 32 oz or 48 oz (ounces per square foot) sheets of wrought copper (resulting in an empty weight between 200 and 300 lbs), copper deposit casket are made in a time consuming process by which copper molecules are deposited on a casket form. The famous National copper deposit caskets had no joints or welding seams nor did the attachments of the handles penetrate the casket walls. Copper deposit caskets have unusually thick walls of 1/8" (3 mm) resulting in a weight between 600 and 800 lbs (empty). Aaliyah's funeral pictures show that at least eight pall bearers were needed to carry her casket. In the 1970s, the price of copper deposit caskets (which are no longer manufactured in the US) was about 10 to 12 times that of a standard 32 oz sheet copper casket. The optional silver plating of the exterior added around 25 % to the basic price of the luxury casket. Other celebrities buried in National copper deposit caskets (of somewhat different design) were for example President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Elvis Presley and the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst.
After the American singer Aaliyah Dana Haughton had died in 2001 at the age of 22 as a result of a plane crash on the Bahamas, her body was flown to New York where the renown Frank E. Campbell funeral home of Madison Avenue arranged her funeral and provided the casket. Aaliyah's relatives chose a very rare and exclusive casket - a silver plated seamless copper deposit coffin with rich ornamental hardware and with a velvet interior. The somewhat baroque looking round corner casket, type designation 20761, was one of the last units manufactured by the former National casket company of Boston, Mass. The double lid design consisted of some 600 lbs of pure copper. There can be no doubt that the casket had an extraordinarily high price because caskets made of electrolytically deposited copper cost up to a dozen times as much as "ordinary" copper caskets welded from sheets of 32 oz wrought metal, and the silver plating of the exterior adds another 20 to 25% to the basic price of the luxury casket, which became the last tribute to an exceptional singer.
