An inventor has designed a refrigerated coffin in an attempt to cope with South Africa’s Aids death rate of about 600 every day.
Pieter van Rensburg’s mobile mortuary can preserve bodies for up to a month, long enough for families to arrange traditional funerals and mourners to travel from all over the country.
The “porta-morgue” looks like a normal coffin but with a cooling unit at one end. Mr van Rensburg said it could keep a corpse fresh for a month at four degrees centigrade.
The design so impressed the South African Bureau of Standards that it won its annual award for prototypes.
Adrienne Viljoen, the bureau’s design institute manager, said the device “demonstrates the down-to-earth practicality of how to preserve your loved one until burial”.
