Abstract

A device for suspending bodies in caskets consisting of a sheet of flexible wire fabric adapted to be disposed generally horizontally in a casket and to cover substantially the entire internal area thereof; and a series of hanger brackets arranged along each interior side of the casket and affixed therein, each edge of the fabric being securable to each of the brackets at selected, vertically spaced apart points, so that the contour of the fabric may be adjusted to display the body neatly and attractively despite variations in the thickness, bulk, and conformation thereof.
