I looked it up as well using search terms like "richardson casket" and "big bopper casket". Nothing came up. Then I went back and read the news article which conveys the impression that the item hasn't been listed yet, but soon will be.
 
My money says it doesn't last long before it gets pulled by ebay.
 
Just my $0.02 worth, as always.

I can't find it on oy-vey.  I looked up Big Bopper and casket.  What 
other categories would you suggest?  Oh, and be glad they re-buried 
him.  Othewise that museum that displayed the casket might have turned 
it into a Lenin situation.  By the way, that DID happen to Caruso.  I 
just got a copy of Dorothy Caruso's book and she relates that his body 
WAS on display under glass for EIGHT YEARS until she finally got the 
Italians to close the coffin.

understand it, ebay doesn't want to be perceived as the world's
auctionplace for the macabre, the obscene, and the morbid, and goes to
considerable lengths to prevent people from selling body parts, nazi
memorabilia, pornography, and all kinds of other unsavory stuff.
