ABSTRACT:
A casket having a fully combustible, full height lift mechanism for raising and lowering the bed of the casket and for rotating the bed about the longitudinal axis of the casket that includes an integral C-shaped bracket that supports a drive screw, a seat that threadably engages the drive screw for supporting the bed frame of the casket, and integral fasteners for securing the assembly to the casket. The mechanism may include a tilt mechanism supported within the C-shaped bracket. In one embodiment, the tilt mechanism restrains one edge of the seat such that continued rotation of the drive screw rotates the seat. In another embodiment, the tilt mechanism drives an edge of the seat such that rotation of the tilt mechanism rotates the seat.
