[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0026] Figures 1 and 2 show a lightweight ossuary 30 according to the present invention, which is installed on a base portion 32 formed of a slab, stone or other suitable support structure that is normally provided in funeral homes or cemeteries, as in the conventional method.

[0027] The ossuary 30 consists of a rigid frame 34 including a rear wall 36, a top wall 38, and a bottom wall 40, and two side walls 42 and 44 that are fixedly attached to each other (e.g., welded). The frame 34 also has a front opening 46 that allows access to an enclosure 48 defined between the walls 36, 38, 40, 42, and 44 for receiving an urn (not shown).

[0028] The frame 34 further comprises three pairs of flanges 50, 52; 54, 56; and 58, 60, which are located on the outer surface of the frame 34 outside the enclosure 48 and are fixed (e.g., welded) to the outer surfaces of the rear wall 36 and the side walls 42, 44. Each of the three pairs of flanges 50, 52; 54, 56; and 58, 60, each pair facing each other, holds a decorative panel that forms a corresponding wall panel that fits snugly between each pair of flanges, namely the rear decorative panel 62 and the two side decorative panels 64, 66. The upper and lower decorative panels 68 and 70 are fixed to the frame 34 by upper and lower fasteners, which are bolts 72 and 74, respectively, and are larger than the frame 34, which prevents the rear decorative panel 62 and the side decorative panels 64 and 66 from sliding off their corresponding pairs of flanges 50, 52; 54, 56; and 58, 60.

[0029] The ossuary 30 also includes a front panel 76, which forms a door that can be opened to provide access to the enclosure 48. The front panel 76 has locking members 78, 80 on a perimeter sash 81, which are cams that engage with a front flange 82 on the frame 34, thereby allowing the front panel 76 to be detachably attached to the frame 34 to close or allow access to the enclosure 48. A key (not shown) may be used to lock the locking members 78, 80. The front panel 76 includes a transparent pane 86, which allows visual access into the enclosure 48 and makes the urn inside visible.

[0030] In one embodiment (not shown), the front panel may be made of the same material as the other side, rear, bottom, and top decorative panels, namely stone, granite, or marble. Nevertheless, this front panel can still be locked and unlocked, for example, with a dedicated key.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1, the exposed portions of flanges 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 are visible from the outside of the ossuary 30 in the area between decorative panels 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, and 76, and can contribute to improving the appearance of the ossuary 30. In particular, the exposed portions of flanges 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 can be decorated with sculptures or other ornaments.

[0032] To attach the decorative panels 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, and 76 to the frame 34, in addition to or instead of flanges 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 and bolts 72, 74, other panel mounting fixtures (not shown) and locking members 78, 80 may be used.

[0033] Frame 34 is less fragile than the materials of decorative panels 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, and 76. (broken) (less prone to tearing), and lighter than when only decorative panel material is used. and The frame housing is formed of a frame material that can provide structural rigidity. The frame material consists of one or more of the following: metal (e.g., bronze, silver, gold, tin, aluminum or other metals, or metal alloys that may include one or more of these metals in combination with others), graphite, carbon fiber, and rigid plastics that have the mechanical properties necessary to hold the decorative panels. The material of the decorative plates is stone, marble, granite, Lexan (registered trademark) It consists of one or more of the following: , . Typically, decorative panels are mostly made of stone, marble, or granite, but some transparent panels, like doors, are naturally Lexan (registered trademark) It may also include other materials such as the above. Furthermore, the door may contain metal or a metal alloy, or other suitable material.

[0034] As a result, the ossuary 30 is lighter than conventional ossuaries, which are usually constructed entirely of granite, stone, or marble. Furthermore, using granite, stone, or marble for the externally exposed surfaces of the ossuary 30 complies with the requirements and regulations for the types of materials used in ossuaries. The ossuary 30 is lightweight while still considering the materials used, as the exterior decorative panels 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, and 76 are made of these materials, as well as the internal frame structure. It is broken renik kutai This is achieved by configuring it to have drag and enabling overall weight reduction.

[0035] As a result, the lighter ossuary 30 can be transported by, for example, two or even one person. This was not possible with conventional heavy ossuaries made of marble or granite, which required lift trucks, cranes, or other lifting vehicles for transport.

[0036] One way to utilize the lightweight ossuary 30 is to use a funeral ossuary carrier 100 that can be manually transported to move the ossuary, as shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5. The funeral ossuary carrier 100 mainly consists of a pair of spaced side rails 102, 104 extending in the longitudinal direction of the carrier 100, and an ossuary bed 106 extending between the side rails 102, 104 for placing the ossuary 30. The ossuary bed 106 includes two L-shaped supports 108, 110 fixed to the side rails 102, 104 and extending laterally between them, each of which is equipped with an ossuary mounting device which is a mounting plate 112, 114 having a C-shaped cross-section. The C-shaped mounting plates 112 and 114 engage with the protruding edges of the decorative panel 70 that forms the bottom wall of the ossuary and are detachably secured thereto with numerous set screws, thereby detachably attaching the ossuary 30 to the ossuary carrier 100. The ossuary mounting fixture also includes iron restrictors 120, 122, 124, and 126 that are attached with set screws to the supports 108 and 110 to fix the lateral position of the ossuary 30.

[0037] The ossuary bed 106 could, of course, have a complete bottom plate instead of the spaced-out supports 108 and 110, but in that case the weight would be heavier.

[0038] The storage carrier 100 further comprises an urn bed 130, which is a flat plate fixed to side rails 102 and 104 and suspended between them, and on the urn bed 130 is a base 132 for carrying urns 134. A key 136 is used to detachably attach the urns 134 to the base 132 by engagement sockets 137 and retaining screws 138.

[0039] The flower bed 140 is fixed to the side rails 102 and 104 and suspended between them in order to place the flowers F on the storage carrier 100.

[0040] A pair of crossbars 142 and 144, fixed to the side rails 102 and 104 and suspended between them, reinforce the storage carrier 100.

[0041] The side rails 102, 104 and crossbars 142, 144 can be used as handles for transporting the storage carrier 100. For example, as shown in Figure 3, two people P can each hold the front and rear ends of the side rails 102, 104 and transport the storage carrier 100.

[0042] The present invention provides a method for transporting a lightweight urn 30 using a funeral urn carrier 100, the method comprising the steps of: placing the urn 30 on the urn bed; and manually transporting the urn carrier 100 using the handle with the urn 30 exposed. Manual transport of the urn 30 is impossible unless it is lightweight, as described above. It is even more important that the urn 30 is lightweight, since the urn carrier 100 itself has an additional weight that must be considered as part of the total weight carried by the person P.

[0043] In one embodiment, the method further includes, after the step of placing the urn 30 on the urn bed 106, the step of detachably attaching the urn 30 to the funeral urn carrier 100. The urn 30 is attached to the urn bed 106, in which case it may be attached alternately to the side rails 102, 104, or to any other suitable part of the urn carrier 100.

[0044] According to the method of the present invention, the urn 134 can be placed on the urn bed 103 and exposed to the outside, and during the funeral procession, the urn can be separated from the remains storage room 30 and exposed to the outside.

[0045] Thus, by placing the lightweight urn storage container 30 on the storage container transporter 100, funeral staff themselves can carry the urn storage container and urn to the funeral home.

[0046] Another way to utilize the lightweight urn storage container 30 is to ship and transport it together with the framed wooden crate 200, as shown in Figures 6 to 9, and install it directly from the framed wooden crate 200 onto the base unit 32. In this case, the use of the support fixture 202 makes installation easier.

[0047] Specifically, the framed wooden box 200 includes a rigid protective shell 204 attached to its exterior to protect the ossuary 30 from impact. The protective shell 204 is mainly composed of two shell sections 206 and 208, each made up of numerous plate-like panels, which are attached to one another by shell panel fasteners that secure the shell panels to the ossuary. The shell panel fasteners include flexible straps 210 and 212, which are wrapped around the two shell sections 206 and 208 to hold them against the ossuary 30.

[0048] The protective shell 204 is made from a shell material consisting of one or more of wood and plastic, but can be made from any material that is rigid, impact-resistant, and preferably lightweight.

[0049] The two shell portions 206 and 208 of the protective shell 204 define an opening 214 that conforms in shape to the bottom of the ossuary 30 when the protective shell 204 is installed in the ossuary 30.

[0050] The support 202 is also formed by assembling multiple plates and is sized to fit within the shell opening 214 so as to abut the lower surface of the decorative panel 70 that forms the bottom wall of the ossuary 30 and protrude beyond the protective shell 204. When the support 202 is placed on the ground, the ossuary 30 can be placed on the support 202, and then the protective shell 204 is positioned above the ground at a distance to facilitate removal of the ossuary from the framed wooden box 200 and installation onto the base 32. This point will be described in more detail later.

[0051] According to the present invention, a method is disclosed for installing a lightweight cremated remains storage container 30, which is housed in a framed wooden box 200, onto a base portion 32. The method includes the steps of: preparing a support 202 that is sized to fit within the opening 214 of the protective shell and is thicker than the shell 204; placing the support 202 on the base 32; placing the urn 30, which is housed in a framed wooden box 200, on the support 202, such that the bottom surface of the urn 30 (i.e., the underside of the decorative panel 70 forming the bottom wall) rests on the support 202 and the framed wooden box 200 extends through the opening 214 of the protective shell and protrudes beyond the protective shell 204; at least partially removing the protective shell 204 from the urn 30 while the urn 30 is on the support 202; and removing the support 202 from beneath the urn 30 in order to place the urn 30 directly on the base 32.

[0052] The step of removing the protective shell 204 from the ossuary 30, at least partially, is the step of removing two shell portions 206, 208, each shell portion comprising several shell panels, which are, for example, assembled (e.g., nailed) wooden boards, and the step of removing the shell portions 206, 208 by releasing (e.g., cutting with scissors) the shell panel fasteners (e.g., flexible straps) that secure the shell panels to the ossuary 30. It will be understood that the protective shell 204 may be formed by arranging any number of shell panels to form two shell portions 206, 208, or more generally, by arranging any suitable shell panels to cover the ossuary and protect it from impact.

[0053] Thus, the support 202 provides a rest (support) for positioning the urn 30 above the base 32, the shell 204 itself is positioned at a distance above the base 32, and the straps 210, 212 and the shell panel help remove the shell panel from the urn by allowing the shell panel to be removed without the weight of the urn 30 and the weight of the framed wooden box 200 itself being placed on the shell panel.

[0054] The method described above includes, before the step of removing the support 202 from under the ossuary 30, a step of rocking (tilting) the ossuary on one side until the bottom of the ossuary rests on the base and the load of the empty ossuary is removed from the support, as shown in Figure 11. By rocking the ossuary in this way, its load is removed from the support 202, making it possible to easily remove the support 202.

[0055] The method of the present invention also includes the step of fixing the ossuary 30 to the base 32 with adhesive 218. Specifically, the method includes, after the step of removing the shell 204 from the ossuary, and before the step of rocking the ossuary on one side and removing the support, the step of rocking the ossuary on the other side opposite to the side from which it was rocked until access to the bottom of the ossuary is obtained, as shown in Figure 10. The method includes the steps of rocking the ossuary on the opposite side from the side on which it was rocked until access to the bottom of the ossuary is obtained, as shown in Figure 10, and applying a first portion 220 of adhesive 218 between the base and the bottom of the ossuary while the ossuary is rocking on the other side, the method then includes the steps of applying a second portion 222 of adhesive 218 between the base and the bottom of the ossuary while the ossuary is rocking on the one side, after the step of rocking the ossuary on one side, before the step of removing the support from underneath the ossuary, as shown in Figure 11.

[0056] Thus, in addition to facilitating the removal of the framed wooden box 200 as previously described, the support 202 also has a second effect: it facilitates the application of adhesive by allowing the ossuary to be swung on one side of the support 202, and then on the other side, thereby exposing the lower surface of the decorative panel 70 forming the bottom wall and / or the corresponding upper surface of the base portion 32, and allowing adhesive to be applied between them. In this embodiment, the adhesive is shown to be applied to the base portion 32, but of course, it is also possible to apply it to the lower surface of the decorative panel 70 forming the bottom wall of the ossuary instead of the base portion.

[0057] The support 202 is preferably shipped and transported together with the framed wooden crate 200, and is attached to the framed wooden crate 200 with flexible straps 230, 232, for example, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, and can be removed by cutting the straps with scissors.

[0058] The shell 204 preferably has plate-shaped handles 224, 226 protruding from each shell portion 206, 208, which are provided on the shell portions 206, 208 respectively, so that it can be grasped by hand for transport.

[0059] As mentioned above, the transportation of the remains storage facility 30 using a framed wooden box 200 that can be carried by hand is possible because the remains storage facility 30 is lightweight.

[0060] Figures 12-13 and 14-15 show the remains storage facilities 300 and 400 according to the second and third embodiments of the present invention, respectively. As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, the remains storage facilities of these embodiments are the same as the remains storage facility 30 of the first embodiment of the present invention shown in Figures 1-2, except for the matters described below.

[0061] In the second embodiment, the remains storage 300 comprises a frame 302 having two enclosures 304 and 306 inside, and an intermediate wall 308 separating the two enclosures 304 and 306. The front panel 310 has two doors 312 and 314 that can be opened independently.

[0062] In the third embodiment, the ossuary 400 comprises a frame 402 having three enclosures 404, 406, and 408 inside, and two intermediate walls 410, 412 separating the three enclosures 404, 306, and 408. The front panel 414 has three doors 416, 418, and 420 that can be opened independently.

[0063] The urns 300 and 400 can accommodate two and three urns, respectively, each housed in an independent enclosure. Although larger in size than the urns 30 of the first embodiment, the urns 300 and 400 are considerably lighter in weight than conventional double and triple urns made only of stone, marble, or granite.
