A “casket carriage” is a specialized wheeled frame or trolley used to transport a casket (often from hearse to graveside) or to set it up on site (e.g., at a cemetery). When selecting a casket carriage, a funeral home or cemetery should consider: Load capacity: Must safely support the weight of the casket plus remains and any equipment; Aeon model says up to 800 lbs.- Wheel and terrain suitability: Pneumatic tires may ease movement on uneven ground; hard-rubber may be more durable on paved surfaces.- Frame durability/material: Robust steel tubing (as in the Frigid model) improves safety and longevity.- Maneuverability: Swivel front wheels, tow bars, ease of movement between hearse and graveside. Storage & protection: Protective covers help extend life of equipment when not in use or stored outdoors.
