Description

The present invention relates to an in-coffin corpse storage device for preserving a corpse in a coffin.

As a method of preserving the corpse, a method of placing dry ice around the corpse placed in a casket (coffin) to cool and preserve the corpse is common. In recent years, cremation facilities have become congested, especially in urban areas, and the storage period of bodies tends to be prolonged.However, the method using dry ice requires a predetermined amount of dry ice to be replenished daily, so the storage period is long. If it is prolonged, the cost will increase significantly. In addition, it has been pointed out that the crematorium is corroded by carbon dioxide generated from the dry ice remaining in the cremation during cremation, and that the dry ice causes a low temperature combustion state and dioxin is generated.

As a method for preserving a corpse without using dry ice, a method for preserving the corpse in a freezer is known. This method allows long-term storage of the corpse, but it requires the work of thawing the frozen corpse before the funeral, which complicates the work process and may damage the corpse during thawing. ..
