Hordozóágyas

Hordozóágyas is a Hungarian term that translates to "carrier bed" or "carrying bed." It refers to a type of bed designed for the transportation of the deceased. These beds are often used in funeral homes or during the transfer of a body from a place of death to a funeral home or place of burial. The primary function of a hordozóágyas is to provide a stable and respectful way to move the deceased without causing further disturbance or damage.

These carrying beds are typically constructed from durable materials such as metal or sturdy wood. They often feature a flat surface with raised edges or handles to facilitate lifting and maneuvering. Some models may include straps or restraints to secure the body, ensuring it remains in place during transit. The design prioritizes both practicality for the funeral professionals and dignity for the deceased.

The use of a hordozóágyas is a standard practice in funeral services, contributing to the overall professionalism and solemnity of the final arrangements. While the term itself is specific to the Hungarian language, the concept of a specialized bed for transporting the deceased is common across many cultures and funeral traditions worldwide, though the specific design and terminology may vary. The emphasis remains on safe, respectful, and dignified handling of the departed.
