How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm contents meet Note item 108517: disposable mortuary kits or packs only. Seal inner bags, then place sets in corrugated boxes with snug void fill.
  2. Label cartons clearly: 'Mortuary Kits — NMFC 108515, Class 100'. Add piece count, gross weight, and dimensions to speed LTL check-in and audits.
  3. Palletize for protection: clean pallet, edge boards, straps, and 2-3 wraps of film. Keep heavy cartons off lighter ones to prevent crushing of kit components.
  4. Plan delivery details early. Funeral homes, morgues, and hospitals often need appointment or limited-access service; add those accessorials to avoid delays.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

Business Value

  • Predictable rating: fixed Class 100 eliminates density disputes and helps avoid costly reclassification fees.
  • No hazmat surcharge: the kits are non-hazardous, reducing paperwork and total landed cost.
  • Faster quoting and booking: a single NMFC (108515) with boxed packaging streamlines bids across carriers.
  • Better cube utilization: uniform cartons stack efficiently, improving pallet density and lowering LTL rates.
