A Lowering Device is not only important in lowering a casket, 
but is essential in softening the appearance and beautifying the 
grave, in keeping with modern funeral furnishings. Thirty-five

The above photo shows Device and Lining over the grave. The 
Border and Linings are fastened together, thereby covering the 
walls of the grave and the plank. When the casket is placed on 
the webbing and you are ready to lowerthe same, loosen tbeb.ake

the Casket safely and noiselessly without an/one touching the 
Device. The casket can be raised as well as lowered. A child’s

vault can be lowered.
