Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (either custom or standard) needed for providing physical care of the body of a deceased person (i.e., cadaver). Items in these kits usually include cadaver bags, identification labels (e.g., toe tags or ankle bands), chin straps/ties, absorbent pads, and string or other appropriate materials (e.g., for securing the cadaver\'s limbs). These kits may be supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure. Postmortem care procedure kits and trays are intended for use in preparing cadavers for transfer to the morgue/mortuary.
