Mortuary Body & Casket Lifts

Body and casket lifts are the most-used safety equipment in a funeral home. One lift serves the whole building: cooler to table, table to casket, casket to church truck, truck to vehicle. Our mortuary body casket lifts range from casket jacks to 1,000 lb powered scissor lifts, so you can match the lift to the transfers you make every day.

Racks, trays and lifts for your cooler

Storage capacity is set by the rack and tray system inside the cooler, and safe handling depends on the lift that serves it. These are the rack, tray and lift models buyers pair with our coolers most often. See the full mortuary lifts, racking systems and storage trays collection for every size and configuration.

Frequently asked questions

What is a body and casket lift?

It is a mobile lift that raises and moves a body or casket so staff do not lift it by hand. Strap lifters lift from above; scissor lifts lift from below on a deck.

Strap lifter or scissor lift?

A strap lifter is best for lifting a body into or out of a casket. A scissor lift is best for sliding a tray or container between surfaces at different heights.

Do the lifts fit through doors?

The 1,000 lb lifter rolls on nine 4-inch casters with a 39.75" x 33.25" base. Check door widths on the product page for each model.

Can I buy replacement straps?

Yes. Replacement body lift straps and hydraulic body casket lift straps are sold separately.

Is financing available?

Financing is available through Shop Pay, including 0% offers with approved credit.
