ABSTRACT:
A mortician's rack for use on an embalming table is disclosed. The rack is portable in nature in that it can be readily removed from the embalming table when not needed and stored, thereby freeing the table for other uses. The rack comprises a main frame with substantially parallel side rails and end rails. A head rest is secured to one end of the main frame and a moveable foot rest secured to a second end of the main frame. A lumbar platform capable of lateral movement is positioned near the mid-section of the side rails. A series of cross-bars are mounted on the side rails with certain cross-bar capable of being independently moved in a lateral direction. The cross-bars are positioned depending on the length of the deceased being embalmed to ensure that it is fully supported and that collateral circulation is not impaired during the embalming process. The rack further comprises at least four leg extensions capable of being vertically adjusted to accommodate different work height requirements.
