A burial casket comprises a shell, a cap enclosing the shell and memorabilia tray pivotally connected to the shell with a linkage. The tray is pivotally movable from a position inside the shell to a position outside the shell when the cap is open. The tray is maintained in an upright, upwardly facing orientation during movement of the tray. The linkage comprises a pair of links, each link being pivotally connected at one link end to an end of the tray and at the other link end to the shell. The tray is generally elongated, rectangular in shape and shallow and includes a plurality of individual compartments therein. The tray is oriented lengthwise generally parallel to the length of the shell and is mounted to a side wall of the shell. The tray may include individual covers enclosing the individual compartments.
