Body Bags for Human Remains
Classic Plastics has been a body bag fabricator for more than 25 years, using the best quality materials and construction methods to exceed all standards. All of our vinyl and polyethylene cadaver bags are sewn and seal reinforced with a heat seal bar ensuring durability.
We have extensive experience in construction using polyolefins, polyethylene, nylon reinforced poly material, PVC, mesh PVC, PVA and bioplastics for cadaver bags. Our newly developed PVA Alkaline Hydrolysis bag was developed with testing in the flameless water cremation systems. We see this trend continuing to grow as green funerals become more desired.
Cadaver Bag Options
Our cadaver bags are available in a wide range of colors, sizes and styles. This includes handled bags, cremation safe bags and freezer/refrigeration-compatible bags. We stock a jumbo bariatric bag that can support 3500 lbs, meeting your largest transport needs. Visit the individual body bag pages for a detailed description of each bag.
