Provided is a bag device (10) for storing a body. The device (10) includes substantially elongate upper and lower impervious flexible panel members (14,16) each having opposed side edges and opposed ends (18,20). Respectively side edges of the members (14,16) are formed integrally therealong, and the members (14,16) are movable to form a cavity (22) for storing the body. The end (18) is closed and the end (20) is normally open so that can be inserted into the cavity (22). The members (14,16) are laminates of thermoplastic sheets (46A-46D) and the open end (20) can be sealed by appliction of heat to the thermoplastic sheets (46A-46D) at the open end (20). Thus, the cavity (22) with the body therein can be hermetically sealed. Pressure release valves (24, 26) are fixed to the member (14) so that any excess pressure in the cavity (22) due to body decomposition is released to the atmosphere. A blanket (50) having layered satchels (52) of fluid absorbent materials is positioned in the cavity (22) to absorb fluid produced during body decomposition. |
