Safety Lids & Decking

Our aluminium deckings are the perfect addition to use with our base & stacking units for the purpose of safety. These deckings provide a safe and stable walking platform to lower the coffin into place.

The standard size of a 4-sided decking is 2400mm x 900mm usable space. This consists of 2x 2400mm x 400mm & 2x 1700mmx400mm panels which bolt together. For customers who require only 3 sides, we have a standard 3-sided decking which consists of 2x 2400mmx400mm & 1x 1700mmx400mm panel with a bar to replace where the fourth side would be. This 3-sided decking is useful for monument areas or where there is limited space.

Customers who would like to utilise both the 3 & 4-sided deckings can simply dismantle the extra 1700mmx400mm and replace with the SHS bar. This is a versatile option that can save customers having to purchase two different deckings. Please advise our friendly sales team if you would like to purchase this option so that we can include both the 4-sided decking and the bar to convert to 3-sided.

Safety Lids can be used with the deckings to cover the grave overnight. This is a great safety measure to ensure no one falls in a grave when unattended. They can be solid aluminium (pictured above) or mesh as pictured below. These can be lockable and attach to the shoring or decking for additional security measures.

For customers who are looking for an aesthetically pleasing view for family and friends during the lowering of coffins, we can offer our removable collar. This collar gives a cleaner view from above so that the soil is not the main focus. This gives the decking a nice, complete finish.
