Newman Brothers Coffin Furniture Factory, History museum in Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham, England.
The Newman Brothers factory building contains original workshops, tools, and equipment used for manufacturing brass coffin fittings from 1894 to 1998.
The factory produced high-quality brass furnishings for notable funerals, including those of Winston Churchill and several members of the British royal family.
The museum presents exhibits about death customs and funeral practices in Victorian Britain through displays of coffin handles, nameplates, and ornamental decorations.
Former factory workers guide visitors through the preserved industrial space, allowing them to operate vintage machinery and experience the manufacturing process.
The factory maintained its 1960s equipment and interior, creating an authentic environment that demonstrates the transition from artisanal brass casting to industrial production.
