Think of it — Safety First 
The FRIGID Automatic Safety Control Lowering and Raising Device does not de- 
pend on you for safety, like the old style friction devices. Its safety is in the way it is 
made, for the FRIGID is automatic. The whole responsibility is off your shoulders 
and on the machine. The machine, not you, lowers the casket. You control the down- 
ward movement, can make it slower or quicker at your will, but the Automatic FRIGID 
does the lowering. 
A Beautiful Machine 
In design, as well as in strength and safety, and service, the FRIGID device is well 
balanced. Each corner is shaped like an urn, and urns are not an uncommon funeral 
symbol. It is harmonious in its lines, has striking smartness, grace, and beauty in its ap- 
pearance, like a beautiful rail about the grave, a decoration in itself. In beauty it is the 
class of Lowering Devices. It is admitted and praised for its good looks, and in its 
very appearance you can see the massive strength of the machine. 
A Beautiful Burial Service 
Can you picture this scene in a cemetery? 
The casket is resting on the Lowering Device, and the relatives, friends, and lodge 
members are gathered about to hear the last words. At the point in the ritual or burial 
service when the body is consigned to earth, you, standing erect, touch with your foot 
the lever that controls the Lowering Device, an action invisible to those about the 
grave — and then as if responsive to the speaker’s words, the casket slowly, silently, and 
safely descends to its last resting place. 
What prettier, what more solemn and sacred effect could you have? To the loved 
ones it will ever be a memory, the most beautiful committal that you, who direct the final 
rites, can give. 
Think of it — “Safety First,” a beautiful machine, and a beautiful burial service.
