Isidor and Ida Straus were the elderly couple in the Titanic movie, notable because Mrs. Straus refused to board one of the lifeboats, because her husband couldn’t go with her. In the film, he was pictured with a long white beard, a long black fur coat and a top hat. A '“cenotaph” is a memorial, to honor someone, but it does not contain the person’s remains. Cenotaphs are often used to honor those killed in battle, but whose bodies were never recovered.
