  Houston’s Museum District is the place most outsiders flock to when they want to visit a wide variety of museums. I agree that this is a great place to start, but the fact is, there are many other excellent museums to visit in the Houston area that are located somewhere else in the city and a prime example is the National Museum of Funeral History.
  
  Most people feel a little creepy about visiting a museum dedicated to funerals and dying, but once you experience this hidden gem, you will wonder what ever held you back. The museum does include a large number of hearses, coffins, etc, like you would expect, but it has much more to offer than that. The section on presidential deaths, the tomb of the unknown soldier, the life and deaths of Popes, and others will pique your interest and keep you browsing.
  
  One section at the National Museum of Funeral History that caught me by surprise is the one dedicated to celebrity deaths. Here, you will learn about famous people, many of whom died younger than expected. They even have copies of the actual funeral order of service/program that was used when the celebrities died and they have exhibits and audio that take you back to fateful moments, like when John Lennon was assassinated.
  
  To keep things entertaining, the National Museum of Funeral History has videos, trivia, and other fun, interactive moments, like creating your own epitaph. The gift shop is larger than expected and it is where your visit begins and ends. They have several t-shirts that are quite amusing and I recommend buying at least one before you go.
  
  Houston’s museums are many and while the National Museum of Funeral History isn’t as well known as the ones in the Museum District, it is definitely a place you need to visit. The many exhibits, the hearses on display, the educational lessons, and so much more add up to a museum experience like few others.

  This place was cool. The presidential displays are really interesting. It's not creepy like the name or thought lol. If you have an interest in this kinda thing, definately visit. Very neat shop too.

  Lots if interesting things to see, not very morbid (I skipped info on embalming). Many cars used for "final farewells" including Princess Grace, Presidents Reagan and Ford. The tour is self guided but you can arrange for docent.
  
  I assumed the museum would focus on the history or traditions of funerals but instead a huge part centered around the vehicles used, unusual coffin designs, and a wonderful area dedicated to celebrities. There are presidential and papal display areas as well, traditions of papal funerals was very interesting even for a non-catholic.
  
  Plan on a minimum of 2 hours because there are so many displays.

  Love this place! Been going for years and will be for years yet. Love to see they're expanding and bringing in fresh exhibits. This is a must see if you're in the area or looking for something unique. Beautiful hearses, great historical reading and more!
