Museum of Funeral Customs
Springfield, IL

Opened by the Illinois Funeral Directors Association, it contains a well documented, fairly large collection of historically valuable items regarding the American funeral and mourning customs, funerary art and practice.
Sadly, the museum is no longer open to the public.  They do still offer private tours by appointment, however.
