Rich: A good place to start out with is:
Bell, Edward L.
1990 The Historical Archaeology of Mortuary Behavior: Coffin Hardware
from Uxbridge, Massachusetts.
Historical Archaeology 24(3):54-78.
This includes 7 pages of references.
Then check out the Tennessee Archaeology Net Bibliographies Section
(http://www.mtsu.edu/~kesmith/TNARCHNET/Pubs/Res_Bib.html).
In the Historical Archaeology Section, you will see a biblio by Bathrick
and Niquette on Funeral and Burial Practices (in two parts).
That should keep you busy the rest of the day!.

I'm trying to assemble reference material depicting 19th century coffin
architecture in North America. Thanks in advance for any contributions.
