Jackson liked the $25,000 casket in which James Brown was buried so much that he ordered one for himself and was reportedly buried in it after his untimely death in 2009. However, this picture, which circulates on the internet and purports to be Jackson in his open coffin, is actually a photoshopped hoax.

 

Emmett Till was just 14 when he was lynched for allegedly whistling at a white woman in 1955 Mississippi. Emmett's mother Mamie Till insisted on an open casket funeral: She wanted to world to see the horrific spectacle of her son's savagely beaten face. The photo of Till's body made international headlines, and is thought to have fueled the Civil Rights Movement.
