Covington Casket Company Celebrates
90 Years in Business
GURNEE,IL—
The WauK™
board is lighter and nar-
rower than standard cots.
With a 500-pound ca-
pacity, this lightweight
30-pound tool gives funer-
al directors and coroners a
new way to remove the de-
ceased with dignity and re-
spect. The WauK™ board
can be placed directly next
to the deceased and where
they can be respectful-
ly rolled onto the WauK™
board. The process is easi-
er on the funeral director’s
body and is more tactful in
the presence of loved ones.
The WauK® Board launches in the
Funeral Service Industry
The WauK Board
An extra handle gives an assistant an easy way to help navigate
down stairs and through tight spaces.
The WauK™ board is the
only removal device that al-
lows either one or two peo-
ple to lift and then roll a
decedent during removal.
Quick disconnect handles
make it easy to move the de-
ceased into an upright position and maneuver around cor-
ners, down stairs, and through tight spaces. Sturdy wheels
smoothly handle deep pile carpet. And an extra handle in
the large footrest gives an assistant an easy way to help navi-
gate down stairs, over bumps, and into the service vehicle.

ny
was started in Decem-

company from the nearby
neighboring town of Opp,
AL, was combined with a
casket factory in Andalu-
sia, AL. This new compa-
ny, originally named
An-
dalusia Casket Company,
later became incorporat-
ed in 1945 and the name
was changed to Covington
Casket Company.
The company is still lo-
cated in the original spot
from which it began in
downtown Andalusia. As
a matter of fact, the main
part of the building which
houses the interior depart-
ment was once used as
