ABSTRACT:
A body positioning device (10) for elevating, supporting and securing the legs of a cadaver (40) at various displacements from a supporting surface (42) for various procedures in preparation for burial. The body positioning device (10) comprises a first support (12), a second support (14), and a base (34). The first support (12) and second support (14) include receptacles or indentations (28) dimensioned to receive cadaver legs (40) and are connected such that the body positioning device (10) may be oriented in various positions to obtain a plurality of displacements of the cadaver legs (40) from a support surface (42). The base (34) acts as a cantilever to overcome the moment caused by the weight of the cadaver to prevent tilting of the body positioning device.
