There are two models available. One is designed for a 2-man setup operation and the other is a collapsible, space saving design which makes a 1-man setup possible.

1Cemetery Model

2Funeral Director Model

Standard Casket Lowering Device

The Frigid Standard casket lowering device is being phased out. We are no longer accepting orders for this style. Parts are available in limited quantity while they last.

Standard Device with telescoping stand and 4-piece, single-faced drape. 1-piece drapes and double-faced drapes also available.

Imperial Casket Lowering Device

  • Weighs 110 lbs
  • 700 lb load capacity
The Frigid Imperial casket lowering device has become a favorite among customers because of its quality of construction and its assurance of performance. As a medium-grade device, the Imperial is capable of bearing loads up to 700 pounds. The Imperial features an adjustable braking system giving you added control over the lowering speed. Weighing 110 pounds plain, the Imperial is designed for a one or two-person setup.

The Imperial is available in two models: the Cemetery model or the Funeral Director model, and can be purchased with chrome-plated tubing or polished stainless steel tubing. The device telescopes from 62" x 25" to 94" x 38". Options such as casket placers can be added to help make the lowering process as effortless as possible.

Imperial Device plain. Our plain devices ship complete with straps and bronze crank handle. Imperial Device 3-n-1 combo - includes 4 placers with guide rods, 1 end roller, 1 end stop, drape and stand. Shown with telescoping stand and 4-piece, double-faced drape. 1-piece drapes and single-faced drapes also available.

Master Casket Lowering Device

  • Weighs 130 lbs
  • 900 lb load capacity
  • Lower fiberglass vaults
The Frigid Master casket lowering device is a high-grade lowering device specifically designed for everyday heavy-duty use. The load bearing components of the Master are twice the size of those found in the Standard and Imperial devices making it virtually maintenance free. With a 900 pound weight capacity, it is an ideal choice for lowering a casket and fiberglass vault combo (use of steel and concrete vaults is not recommended with any casket lowering device).

Weighing 130 pounds plain, the Master is the most durable lowering device on the market and is designed for a two-person setup.

The Master is available in two models: the Cemetery model or the Funeral Director model, and can be purchased with chrome-plated tubing or polished stainless steel tubing. The device telescopes from 62" x 25" to 94" x 38". Options such as casket placers can be added to help make the lowering process as effortless as possible.

Master Lowering Device plain. Our plain devices ship complete with straps and bronze crank handle. Side rails in picture shown with 4 ratchet gears for placer set. Typically a plain device ships without the gears unless otherwise specified. Master Lowering Device with placer set - includes 4 placers with guide rods, 1 end roller and 1 end stop. Master Device 3-n-1 combo - includes 4 placers with guide rods, 1 end roller, 1 end stop, drape and stand.

Cemetery Model

The Cemetery model casket lowering device is our most popular model and is the model pictured in all of the images on this page. The two long side rails on a Cemetery model device telescope lengthwise but they do not fold or collapse. The rails are removable by the simple means of 4 threaded studs, but the intention of the design is that they stay attached at all times. For this reason a 2-man setup is recommended. This model is available in both styles: Imperial and Master.

Funeral Director Model

The Funeral Director model casket lowering device is essentially identical to the Cemetery model save for the fact that the long side rails are collapsible. The rails are designed to break apart and fold in half making it easier for 1 person to transport the device halves from gravesite to gravesite. The Funeral Director model also provides space savings when storage is necessary.
