| 20100212125 | COFFIN CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY - A Coffin Carriage assembly | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110173785 | Urn vault transporting device - A device for transporting an urn vault is provided comprising a pair of spaced, parallel A-shaped frames, each having a pair of frame members pivotally joined at their upper end. The apex of each frame is joined to the apex of the other frame by an upper connecting member, and the lower ends of each frame member are connected to the lower end of one of the frame members of the other frame by a lower connecting member. A notch engaging member is located on the lower end of each frame member to engage and be received in notches defined in the edges of opposed vertical surfaces of the urn vault. A tension spring is connected between the frame member of each frame intermediate their upper and lower ends to draw the lower ends of each frame member together. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20130086780 | MEMORIAL CARRIER - An apparatus including a mounting platform, wherein the mounting platform includes a substantially planar mounting surface; a clamping mechanism on the mounting surface; a memorial item retained by the clamping mechanism; and an arrangement of handles on a side of the mounting platform, wherein the side is substantially normal to the plane of the mounting surface. | 04-11-2013 |
| 20140115843 | FUNERAL CONTAINER CARRYING DEVICE - A carrier is provided for facilitating the carrying and transportation of a funerary container having a bottom surface, a plurality of side surfaces and a top surface, along with a length and width and interior large enough to accommodate an un-cremated corpse. The carrier includes a base member having a length generally long enough to span the width of the funerary container and a upper surface sized and configured for receiving the bottom surface of the funerary container. An upstanding member has a lower end coupled to the base member and an upper end. The upstanding member extends in a plane generally perpendicular to the base member. A handle member is provided that is coupled to the upstanding member. The handle includes a hand receiving surface engageable by the hand of the user. | 05-01-2014 |

LOWERING DEVICES | 3 |
| 20140047685 | CASKET-LOWERING STRAP WITH DETACHABLE FASTENER - A casket-lowering strap for lowering a casket into an outer burial container (OBC) includes a pair of clips at respective ends of the strap that are configured to be releasably attached to side rails of a casket-lowering device. The strap includes a first strap section and a second strap section. The first strap section includes a first attachment portion, and the second strap section includes a second attachment portion. The first and second attachment portions are configured to be releasably attached to one another. | 02-20-2014 |
| 20090260204 | Apparatus for Lowering a Cinerary Urn - An apparatus for lowering an urn comprises a frame, a substantially horizontal platform for supporting the urn, and a lowering mechanism mounted to the frame that is releasably connected to the platform The lowering mechanism automatically releases the platform when the platform is in the bottom position. To releasably connect the lowering mechanism to the frame, four hangers may be used to releasably connect the platform to respective suspension straps. Each hanger may comprise a square body for insertion through a corresponding square hole in the platform. Each hanger may have a pivoting arm that pivots into a substantially horizontal posture to support the platform from underneath, the pivoting arm of the hanger comprising a counterweight to cause the pivoting arm to return to a substantially vertical posture when legs underneath the platform reach the bottom position. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20120084953 | UNIVERSAL CASKET AND VAULT LIFTING AND LOWERING DEVICE - A universal casket and vault lifting and lowering device comprises four corner posts, a pair of end tubes, one of which is connected between two of the corner posts at each end of the device, a pair of side tubes, one of which is connected between two of the corner posts at each side of the device, a pair of straps, each having opposite ends rotatably fixed to a respective one of the side tubes, a power transmission assembly for rotating the pair of side tubes in a first direction to wind the straps around the side tubes to take up slack in the straps and for rotating the pair of side tubes in a second direction to unwind the straps and create slack in the straps, and a gear mounted to one of the side tubes which, when rotated, rotates both of the side tubes in the first direction and bypasses a portion of the power transmission assembly. | 04-12-2012 |

LIFE SIGNALS | 1 |
| 20140189988 | PORTABLE ALARM SYSTEM FOR COFFINS - The portable alarm system for coffins is a system that enables a person who has been mistakenly interred to transmit a signal that indicates that he/she is alive. The system includes a signal transmitting structure removably secured in the coffin or tomb. A lamp or light source provides illumination for the tomb or coffin to allay the effect of panic for the entombed person. A receiving device is located in a prominent place, whereby the transmitted signal may be readily and quickly observed by security or other personnel. After a predetermined period, the system can be easily removed from the coffin for reuse. | 07-10-2014 |
