ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a hand position securing device for use by morticians when embalming and positioning a body for display in a casket. The device consists of a wristlet in the form of an elongated material strip provided with an aperture and grommet therefore to secure a cord to the wristlet strip. One side of the wristlet strip is provided with female joining material and the other side of the strip is provided with male joining material so that the wrist of the body may be encircled with the wristlet. The two wrists having been thus bound can be joined in a fashion that will not show when the body is clothed by lacing the cords together. It is then impossible for the hands to depart from the desired folded position of composure as the result of the force of gravity and/or vibration from movement.
