A funeral tray having an elongated bottom and an upwardly projecting wall peripheral to the bottom and leading to a raised rim, defining a concave shape sized and configured to receive a body of a deceased person, the upwardly projecting wall having jointless corners and being integral to the bottom via a jointless perimeter, the funeral tray formed of a single, unibody part, and provided in the form of a monohull of particleboard moulded from a mixture of wood fibers and resin using a press, the funeral tray being resistant to leakage of fluids and configured to support the body of the deceased person when carried.
A process of making a funeral tray comprising:
- press-moulding, between a lower mould portion and an upper mould portion, a mixture of wood fibers and resin in a manner to form a monohull of particleboard having an elongated bottom integrally joined to an upwardly projecting wall leading to a raised rim, the upwardly projecting wall peripheral to the bottom;
- and
- releasing the monohull of particleboard from the mould, the monohull of particleboard then constituting the funeral tray.
