Embalming ends at one table; presentation begins at another. The dressing table is where cosmetics, dressing, and casketing happen — and rooms that skip it pay in workflow collisions every busy week. From a premier funeral supply company since 2009.
Why a Dedicated Dressing Station
One-table rooms stall: the embalming table is either wet, occupied, or being disinfected exactly when dressing needs to start. A dedicated dressing table — dry work height, clean surface, family-appropriate if viewing happens early — lets case two start while case one finishes, effectively doubling room throughput without adding square footage.
Specs & the Casketing Transfer
Check working height against your staff, rated capacity against your caseload, and caster quality for repositioning. Casketing is the transfer that ends the prep workflow: a lift or hydraulic lift table beside the dressing station makes it a one-person, zero-strain move — the logic from the lift guide and prep room plan.
