Eterna-Crib
A Polystyrene casket for "still borns, fetals, and prematures" made by Filaform Co.
I think it was sold from the 1960s until around the 1990s.
The ad below appeared in the trade journal American Funeral Director, but I'm not sure when. I found it reproduced in a Czech-language booklet, Funebracka Romance (Funeral Romance), by Radovan Kratky.

Tiny caskets for stillborns, miscarriages, preemies, SIDS, etc. still look much like this today.
They are made of a material such that you do not need a grave liner or vault for burial.
