Funeral Museum Vienna

The Funeral Museum Vienna displays over 1000 exhibits related to funeral customs, including hearses, pallbearer uniforms, wreaths, and ceremonial objects.

The museum, established in 1967 and redesigned by Wittigo Keller in 1987, documents the evolution of funeral services throughout Vienna's history.

The collection reflects traditional Viennese attitudes toward death through displays of elaborate funeral arrangements and burial practices from different social classes.

Located near Vienna Central Cemetery, the museum opens Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM with an entrance fee of 9 euros.

The exhibition features a foldable coffin from 1784, introduced by Emperor Joseph II as a resource-saving measure that lasted only six months.
