Something like a cross on the back do you mean?
I'm envisaging a routed slot on both pieces on the back.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

I reckon a slight addition to the back of the cross piece and you would have a nice try square as well.
You could be in the money soon.

Major, why not ask them about coffins? I believe they can be quite profitable too
Nice cross, by the way. Maybe they should have a crescent for the Muslims, and a Manorah for the Jews as well.

The hospital's morgue hold the deceased until funeral arrangements are made with a funeral home/undertaker.
The morgue only needs body bags.
The hospital in question is part of a christian based enterprise, so a nondenominational cross was all that was needed.
