Greetings all
   I have a few question regarding the burial of reasonably well-to-do people
around the Roanoke, VA area in the mid 1850s.  Were coffins used at that
time?  What kind of material was used?  Could the coffin itself survive for
150 years?
   Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
