A first call is often the family's first contact with your firm, and the removal has to be safe and dignified. A good kit covers getting the decedent onto a carrier, down stairs or through tight spaces, and into the vehicle securely.

Frequently asked questions
What is a first call cot?
A removal cot used to bring the deceased into the funeral home's care. It adjusts in height and locks into the removal vehicle.
How do I handle a removal on stairs?
Move the decedent on an EVAC sled or scoop to the cot at the bottom, or use the TITAN PRO XL 650E, which converts to a stair chair.
Can I finance cots or pay by purchase order?
Yes. Apply on our financing page, pay by card, or send a purchase order. Many buyers also use Section 179 to deduct the cost in the year the equipment goes into service.
