Packaging sheets, packaging material comprise one or more packaging sheets and related methods are provided herein. A packaging sheet can include a first substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface. An adhesive layer can be applied on the first surface of the first substrate. A cohesive layer can he applied on the adhesive layer, such that the cohesive forms a first outer surface of the packaging sheet with the opposing second surface of the first substrate forming a second outer surface. The packaging sheets can, in some embodiments, comprise body bag sheets used to form body bags.

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 device 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 the pair of 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 an air from within the coverall, thereby causing a pressure differential that positions the coverall in abutment with the cadaver.

Today's funeral practices are unsustainable, toxic, and polluting. Both cremation and the manufacture and transport of caskets, grave liners, and headstones emit greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. In fact, the very last thing that most of us will do on this earth is poison it. As a response, a system and method called recomposition that gently and naturally returns humans to the earth after death.

A body bag includes an elongate base layer, an elongate top layer attached to the base layer to define an internal cavity, and an elongate flap provided in the top layer, wherein the flap is releasably securable to a fixed portion of the top layer. In addition, the base layer includes a low friction material disposed across at least a portion of an interiorly facing surface. Methods of manufacturing and using the body bag are also disclosed.
