Abstract
A one piece body support for use in a casket to support a body in a recumbent position. The body support is assembled from a unitary blank of paperboard and comprises a bed portion having integral length adjustable means enabling the length of the bed portion to be varied so that the body support can be adapted to be accommodated in caskets having different interior lengths. The length adjustable means comprises flexible end sections formed by transversely extending score lines. The flexible sections are foldable to vary the length of the bed portion while maintaining a generally constant vertical position for the bed portion.
