Traditional body bags are the most commonly used for transporting bodies in hospitals and nursing homes, or for committal. Made from polyethylene or composite materials, they feature watertight zippers and reinforced handles for safe use. Available in a range of sizes, they are suitable for different body shapes, while ensuring protection for professionals and respect for the deceased.
