One of the best 'offbeat' museums I have been to! Inexpensive, extensive, informative and respectful.
And the gift shop itself is worth a visit !

This is a unique and quirky museum. I found it interesting and a good way to spend a couple of hours. Some spectacular funeral vehicles in excellent condition and lots of memorabilia presented in the form of cards and programs from the funerals of the famous. Not morbid, just interesting.

It has taken me a while to do this review because for me personally in some ways this museum was a bit triggering for me, and the fact that my sweet husband thought it was a good idea of a place to go on our 8th wedding anniversary which was in December 2023…well lets just say that won’t happen again.
I will start with the good. The museum was larger than I imagined. Several separate rooms and a great deal of history. I did not realize the museums mainly covered dead president’s…..not that our former president’s shouldn’t be honored, I just did not know what to expect. Having an opportunity to see some of the old fashion hearses were interesting. But two of the areas were extremely triggering to me. That was the white carriage hearse with a very small coffin….I have a sister that passed away at 3 during the time my Mom was carrying me, so I never had a chance to meet her, and seeing that super small carriage really made me think about how very very hard this must have been for my Mom. They are both in heaven now along with my oldest sister. And speaking of my oldest sister I never knew the total process of cremation. You know its kind of like you see your loved ones body and then you see them in an urn and most just never know the full process. Don’t get me wrong I knew the body who be incinerated…but just watching the simulation of it, really got to me. Also the casket made for two parents and a child…just hard.
There were some very unique caskets on display like of an airplane, a cow, a bird, and a car….like I said they were unique.
So all and all I can not give a bad or good review on this museum, but if you are going to visit you may need to have a tough stomach or have not loss anyone close to you, or are very enamored with American history to actually enjoy the place.

This was a fascinating museum discussing the history of funerals not only in the U.S. but around the world. The display of hearses both modern and horse drawn were so interesting. The craftsmanship of the old carriages was amazing. We have sterilized death to the point that we no longer consider the past and how they let go of those they loved. I highly encourage visiting the museum and spending time understanding the past and your future.

Meticulously displayed artifacts from funerals of politicians from Abraham Lincoln to JFK and beyond, movie stars like Marilyn Monroe, musicians like Charlie Daniels, the Wizard of Oz characters, ancient Egyptian embalming techniques and best of all a Shroud of Turin exhibit.

This place was awesome, I highly recommend it. It is actually a lot bigger than you would think and we stayed there 3 hours and didn’t see everything. Highly recommended!!

Absolutely amazing! Much more detailed than I would have imagined. Well laid out and very informative. It covers all aspects of the funeral and remembrance process. I would recommend it to anyone interested in history.

Excellent museum! Not a subject most people want to talk about. The exhibits are very well done. Our 15 year old grandson was not excited about going but thoroughly enjoyed it. Location is not near other museums but is well worth the drive.

I’ve been wanting to visit this museum for years now. FINALLY went a few weeks ago. OH. MY. GAWD. It is absolutely the best museum ever. They have so much stuff to look at. So many rooms and different spaces to view history. The curator of this museum did/does such a great job. We spent 2 hours at this museum.
I cannot begin to express how impress I was about this place. I’ve talked about it non stop. And I will be going back. It is an absolute must. So much history. So much to look at. And so much death. But “one thing is for certain…death and taxes”.

We had 11 people - 6 adults, 5 kids ages 6 through 14. Hubby and I had visited a few years ago and wanted to take the family. I know it sounds weird, but it is interesting and well done. We were there a little over an hour. It is a nice way to get out of the heat and learn some things.

It's definitely bigger than we anticipated. I'd plan for 2 or more hours depending on how interested you are in the subject.

So you know, it's not a big building nor does it "stand out" (unless you were looking for it, you might not notice it). It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood, but a few blocks from the main drag. It's best described as a "mom and pop" type of museum--no frills place. That being said, it's certainly an interesting museum, just don't expect it to be more than a 1-2 hour visit.

Hi! I believe it's $10 for adults...I'm a senior and I think I paid $9.00. And yes, they do accept credit cards! As far as food, I didn't see a café or anything onsite, but a number of restaurants are nearby. It's Houston after all!
