Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a display system for caskets, both for display prior to casket selection, e.g., in a showroom prior to purchase, and for display in actual use, e.g., in a viewing room and/or during a funeral or memorial service. The casket display system is easy to assemble in a short period of time, is lightweight enough for a single human to be able to lift and move any of its component parts, yet is strong and sturdy, giving the appearance of stability and mass, and is easily transportable. The casket display system of the present invention comprises a back wall panel, a bier formed by a plurality of casket-supporting cylinders, and at least one supporting member, wherein each supporting member is supported by at least one of the cylinders and provides support for the back wall panel. The back wall is completely supported by the supporting members, requiring no additional means of support. Each supporting means is attached to one or more of the cylinders. The cylinders may be interconnected by a connecting member, to provide enhanced support to the back wall supporting member and stability to the entire casket display system.
