Looking for a little cultural stimulation this Halloween?

A trip to the National Museum of Funeral History in Houston might just be the venue for those looking for something new this season.

The museum, a tribute to the 19th and 20th century’s deadest industry, puts the “fun” in “funeral” as it chronicles a timeline of hearse vehicles, caskets and other exhibits under the slogan “Any day above ground is a good one.”

In addition to experiencing the skill and workmanship of caskets at the museum’s 1900′s Casket Factory, visitors can get up close and personal with Civil War embalming, a collection of fantasy caskets, and even the original Eternal Flame commissioned in 1963 by the U.S. government to burn bright above slain President John F. Kennedy’s grave.

The museum is located at 415 Barren Springs Drive in Houston.

Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, from 10am to 4pm; and on the weekend from noon to 4pm. Admission is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors/veterans, and $3 for children under 12. Children under three admitted free.

Tours are available Monday through Friday, from 10am to 2:30pm, and are conducted by trained museum professionals.
