Abstract: A foldable container assembly of fiberboard material is provided which can support and contain a corpse therein solely with the container fiberboard material without the use of wood frame members and the attendant weight and expense associated therewith. Preferably, the container assembly is provided partially preassembled in the transport container including an outer body portion of the main container body which can be bent or collapsed from its operative orientation to a smaller transport orientation to fit in the compact transport container. Similarly, a large lid section of a two part lid can be partially preassembled and folded to a smaller transport form for shipping. The main container body also includes a fluid containment portion formed from a fluid containment panel of corrugated fiberboard material which is folded to form the fluid containment portion and placed in the container body to minimize leakage of fluids from the container and to assist in supporting loads placed thereon.
