Body containment constructions, materials, and methods of use for bio-cremation processes are disclosed. Preferably, the containment constructions of the present invention provide the functionality of liquid containment and also the functionality of body presentment for viewing purposes, if desired, in addition to bio-degradability. Advantageously, liquid containment is provided in a body containment construction that is sufficiently liquid impervious, allows for body transport by sufficient structural support, and is decomposable within the time period for a bio-cremation process. More preferably, the containment construction will dissolve or decompose within a normal procedural time period without leaving any component remaining from the containment construction. According to an aspect of the present invention, a body containment bag is provided that is made from a structural material that is combined with a liquid containment material and one or more closures, wherein the body containment bag is effectively usable for bio-cremation during which all components of the body containment bag can effectively decompose by alkaline hydrolysis. Methods of making and of utilizing a body containment bag for decomposition are also disclosed.

A vacuum-sealed cadaver garment for containing a cadaver and limiting the bulky appearance of clothing added to the cadaver includes a coverall constructed of a flexible, air-impermeable material and having a neck edge defined by a neck opening and a pair of cuffs defined by a pair of wrist openings. A neck adhesive is coupled to the coverall adjacent the neck edge and a pair of wrist adhesives are coupled to the coverall adjacent to the cuffs which create air-tight seals with the cadaver. A vacuum port is coupled to the coverall which is configured for attaching to a vacuum pump for removing air from within the coverall, thereby causing a pressure differential that positions the coverall in abutment with the cadaver.

A first call pouch includes an inner layer forming a compartment comprising at least one sidewall, a bottom wall and a top having a zippered opening. The inner layer is water resistant, proof, or sealed to contain fluids. The inner layer further including one or more pockets formed therein for storage of related items including gloves. The zippered opening is a bi-directional zipper extending substantially the entire length of the bag. An outer layer encapsulates the inner layer. The outer layer includes at least one outer sidewall, an outer bottom wall, and an outer top wall that shares the zippered opening with the inner layer whereby opening of the bi-directional zipper provides access to the inner compartment. Further, the outer bottom has a pocket adapted to receive a pad, and the outer layer top wall has at least one pocket.

A body bag includes a first layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, and a second layer coupled to the first layer. The upper surface of the first layer at least partially defines a first cavity sized to receive the body. The second layer has an upper surface and a lower surface. The lower surface of the first layer and the upper surface of the second layer at least partially define a second cavity sized to receive a stiffening mechanism.
