How to Put a Body in a Casket

• 1). Adjust the base. On the bottom of the the body lift is either a bolt or a lever that will allow you to adjust the length of the base. This allows the lift to slide underneath the working table or underneath the casket.
  
  
• 2). Adjust the height. Using the other lever or bolt, adjust the height of the arm of the lift that holds the straps. This will allow you to strap the body into the lift.
  
  
• 3). Secure the straps. Rotate the body enough to get the straps underneath other side of the body so that you can click or fasten the straps. Make sure the straps are far enough apart on the body, but not too far apart to keep the body from falling apart in transit from the table to the casket.
  
  
• 4). Swing the body. Now that the body is securely strapped to the body lift, swing the lift from the table to the casket. Adjust the height of the lift to casket level and slowly lower the body into the casket.
  
  
• 5). Undo the straps. Once the body is in the casket, undo the straps and position the body for viewing.
