It isn't Polk, but his son Gideon. Polk is the one kneeling next to the coffin. I suspect that Polk, or someone in the family probably made the coffin. I think that in the old days that death was more "accepted" than it is now, and that is why they took pictures of the deceased. I have a newspaper article about the death of Polk's grandson Gamble Yates who died in 1998 and it shows the family taking his flag-draped coffin to the cemetery as they did it long ago via horse drawn wagon.
