Abstract:
A casket bed comprises a rectangular bed frame formed from a pair of side rails, a pair of end rails, a plurality of cross braces spanning between the side rails and a plurality of bed straps spanning between the end rails. The cross braces are adjustably movable along the side rails. The bed straps have first ends directly connected to one of the end rails. Each cross brace includes a plurality of locators thereon each of which receives a bed strap and locates the bed strap side-to-side on the bed frame. The side and end rails are formed from beams L-shaped in cross-section which overlap at the corners of the frame; at each corner, one of the beams has a tongue which cooperates with its horizontal leg to receive therebetween the free edge of the horizontal leg of the other beam.
