Further applications/ variations
The custom-made body bag can also be used for the carrying and storage of animal carcases. These are typically used by hunters to transport or carry the animal, or by veterinarians to transport animal corpses to a crematorium. Animal body bags can be custom-made to any size, from small dog or cat sizes to a large horse or buck.
A further different type of body bag is one made from what is termed heat-reflective or thermal material. The purpose here is to keep the corpse at a stable temperature and to reduce the variation of temperature over a short period of time. The bag would be used as an inner for the PVC body bag. The thermal bags are manufactured from a 140-micron reflective thermal barrier foil material where temperature control of the corpse is required.
This body bag is further designed so that air may be extracted and the body bag sealed securely. Ideally, it should be vacuum packed but this is a development in time.
