Images taken of Albert Einstein's funeral were first made public earlier this month. The full set can be found here at life.com. The description for the picture above:
At the Funeral Home[via bits&pieces]
Early in the afternoon, Einstein's body was moved for a short time from the hospital to a funeral home in Princeton. The simple casket containing the corpse, post-autopsy, only stayed at the funeral home for an hour or so. Morse made his way there, and soon saw two men loading a casket into a hearse. For all Morse knew, Einstein's burial was imminent. Hoping to scope out a spot near the grave, he quickly drove to the Princeton Cemetery.
