ABSTRACT:
A mortuary display platform is provided with a transparent dome and refrigeration for viewing and for temporary preservation of a corpse prior to burial. A wheeled housing base containing a refrigeration unit, a dehumidifier, and a conditioned air control system supports the display platform. Electrical connections are included for electrical outlet operation. A rechargeable battery pack in the wheeled housing allows portable operation. The deceased can be viewed during services through the transparent dome, and conditioned air passed through vents inside the transparent dome from the conditioned air control system in the wheeled housing maintains the corpse in a cooled environment. An opaque burial cover fitting over the display platform encompassing the transparent dome is provided. The display platform can be detached from the wheeled housing base and, with the burial cover in place, the covered display platform can be use as a burial unit. Handles are provided along the sides of the upper section for carrying by pallbearers. The handles detach and are returned to the mortuary after the burial.
