Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for displaying caskets, such as displaying caskets during church or burial services, are disclosed. One embodiment comprises a method of presenting a casket for display, which involves supporting the casket with a mechanical structure and placing an assemblage of panels around a portion of the mechanical structure. Some embodiments may include unfolding the assemblage of panels before placing it, folding the assemblage to allow transport of the assemblage, supporting the casket above the ground elevation by using a casket truck, and/or placing the assemblage of panels by rolling it on casters. Another embodiment comprises an apparatus for displaying a casket. The apparatus may have a front panel and one or more wing panels attached to the front panel via hinges. The hinges may also allow the wing panels to swing toward the front panel and collapse for transporting the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus and methodology are provided for determining the proper set-up for a golfer. The methodology and apparatus set a golfer's hips parallel to his intended ball roll or flight line (target line) based upon his right or left hip rotation and shoulder width to determine his individualized stance address position to a golf ball. To this end, the apparatus includes a template “mat” placed on the ground which measures the width of a golfer's stance and rotation of a golfer's hips from the proposed path of the golf ball, also referred to as the “target line”, and an elongate bar affixed to a golfer's hips for visually indicating the golfer's hip rotation relative to the target line. The mat preferably includes a plurality of markings for measuring the width of a golfer's stance and for measuring the rotation of a golfer's hips.
