ABSTRACT:
Described herein is a body case fabricated of galvanized sheet metal and designed to contain the remains of a decreased person in an air tight environment. The case is used for shipping the remains from one area of the country to another. The body case includes a main portion which is bent to form two sides and a bottom. The case also includes a front and back panel which are joined to the main portion by preformed receiving mean joints therein and a sealant material is placed in conjunction with the forms joined to maintain an air tight seal within the body case container. Flanges are formed along the open top of the container and a gasket is placed along the formed flanges. A cover is compressibly latched over the top of the container and against the gasket to maintain an air tight seal therein. In an alternate embodiment, a window is placed in the cover and sealed in an air tight manner using a gasket and compression offset bracket against the transparent window. The window may be made of a plastic material so that the body case can be moved directly from a coffin after a final viewing ceremony and placed into a crematorium for disposal of a diseased body while maintaining isolation of the body from the surrounding environment or left in the container for burial.
