Abstract
A collapsible, disposable body container is disclosed for safely and sanitarily transporting, storing or disposing heavy, dense, fluid-containing contents such as a dead body. The container comprises a container base and a container lid which are foldable for transportation or storage. The container base is lined with a leak-proof, puncture-resistant, high-density polymer liner which prevents contact with or escape of the contents of the container when a user lifts the container via hand grips provided in the container. A container insert is placed over the lining to add strength to the container and to prevent the container from collapsing.
