The invention relates to a method and device for lowering coffins into the grave, whereby the length of grave opening is shorter than the length of the coffin and device is constructed like a frame and consists of the lower right beam (1), the lower left beam (2), the upper right beam (7) and the upper left beam (8), which are on one side connected to a frame (30), and on the other side to a frame (31), wherein the frame (30) is set in a box (3), and frame (31) in a box (4), while with the beam (1) are connected the legs (48), (49) and (50), and with the beam (2) are connected the legs (51), (52) and (53), through which the device rests on ground. Driving chain (56) for moving the band (26) in a vertical plane and driving chain (54) for linear movement of the device in a horizontal plane, are housed in a box (3), and a driving chain (55) for moving the band (25) in the vertical plane, is housed in a box (4). A spindle (17) is mounted at the frame (30) and in the bearing (36), and a spindle (18) is mounted at the frame (30) and in the bearing (39). On the spindle (17) is the nut (15), which is connected to the end of the middle beam (9), wherein the beams (9) resting on the roller wheel (77), which is placed on the carrier (5). On the beam (9) is mounted fork assemblies (11) and (12).Pronalazak se odnosi na postupak i napravu za spuštanje mrtvačkih kovčega u grob čija je dužina otvora kraća od dužine kovčega, konstruisana je u vidu rama i sastoji se od donje desne grede (1), donje leve grede (2), gornje desne grede (7) i gornje leve grede (8), koje su sa jedne strane povezane sa kosturom (30), a sa druge strane sa kosturom (31), pri čemu je kostur (30) postavljen u kutiji (3), a kostur (31) u kutiji (4), dok su sa gredom (1) povezane nožice (48), (49) i (50), a sa gredom (2) nožice (51), (52) i (53), preko kojih se naprava oslanja na tlo. Lančani prenos (56), za kretanje trake (26) u vertikalnoj ravni i lančani prenos (54), za pravolinijsko kretanje dela naprave u ho
