Body bags play a crucial role in funerals, hospitals, and forensic investigations — but their use comes with strict legal and ethical responsibilities. From dignity of the deceased to compliance with OSHA, CDC, and mortuary codes, understanding these considerations is vital for funeral homes, medical examiners, and morgues.

From military battlefields to modern forensic labs, body bags have undergone a remarkable evolution. Once simple coverings, they are now durable, leak-proof, and scientifically designed for forensic investigations, mortuaries, and hospitals.
