To provide a conveyable container-type coffin laying apparatus comprising a facility for keeping, at a fixed temperature, an inner part for temporarily storing/preserving a number of coffins that each stores a dead body, in an arbitrary time zone in a period until a cremation after a funeral or a period until transfer to a crematory after the funeral.SOLUTION: An container-type coffin laying apparatus 1 includes: an inner part in which a plurality of stages of coffin storage shelves 2 on which many coffins P are to be arranged and placed are provided； and an elevating mechanism 3 for moving up and down while having a coffin P placed thereon at a middle part that divides each of middles of the plurality of stages of coffin storage shelves 2 into right and left halves. Transport mechanisms 4 for enabling a coffin P placed on the elevating mechanism 3 to be stored in a right or left half of any of the respective stages of coffin storage shelves 2 are provided on the coffin storage shelves 2 and the elevating mechanism 3. An outer wall is made to comprise an opening/closing door 5 at the most lowered position of the elevating mechanism 3. On each stage of the coffin storage shelves 2 is provided a permanent vacant space S. In the case of taking out a target coffin P, the elevating mechanism 3 is interlocked with a transport mechanism 4 to move and save a coffin P other than the target coffin to a vacant space S. Thereby, only the target coffin P is enabled to be taken out from the opening/closing door 5.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2【課題】葬儀後の火葬するまでの間あるいは葬儀後の火葬場へ移送するまでの間の任意の時間帯に、遺体を収納した多数の柩を一時的に保管・保存しておくための内部を一定温度に保つ設備をもつ運搬可能なコンテナ型柩安置装置を提供する。【解決手段】コンテナ型柩安置装置１の内部に多数の柩Ｐを並べて載置する柩格納棚２を複数段に設け、該複数段の柩格納棚２の各中間を左右に分離し、該中間部分において柩Ｐを載せて昇降する昇降機構３を備える。昇降機構３に載せた柩Ｐを柩格納棚２の左右各段に入庫可能にした搬送機構４を当該柩格納棚２及び昇降機構３に設け、昇降機構３の最下降位置にて開閉扉５を備えて外壁となす。柩格納棚２の各段には予め空きスペースＳを常時設け、目的の柩Ｐを取り出す際には、搬送機構４と昇降機構３を連動して空きスペースＳに目的以外の柩Ｐを移動退避し、開閉扉５から目的の柩Ｐのみを取り出し可能にする。【選択図】図２
