A system for positioning a corpse upon an embalming table and providing sufficient support for the corpse so that it may be embalmed and thereby retained in the desired position, the system including a plurality of polygonal blocks of varying configurations, with at least one tongue or groove presented by each of said blocks whereby the blocks may be interlocked in desired and suitable arrangements to support various portions of the corpse in the desired position upon the table for embalming. There is provided a pair of first blocks, identical in configuration, in the form of a polygonal body having spaced indented areas on one surface thereof; a pair of second blocks, identical in configuration and in the form of a polygonal body having an arcuate portion in one surface thereof; a pair of third blocks, identical in configuration and in the form of a polygonal body having a tapered extension and a concavity on one surface thereof; a block in the form of an elongated bar for retention on the table with means on the bar for engaging the table and a tongue on the bar for mating with the grooves of other said blocks; and a block in the form of a polygonal rail having a tongue on one surface thereof, the rail being supportable by an arrangement of blocks to elevate an extremity of the corpse. When used in conjunction with an embalming table the interlocking blocks will allow a mortician to obtain correct and proper positioning of any corpse for embalming purposes providing a stable retaining and positioning means for the trunk and all body extremeties.
