NMFC 108515: Disposable Mortuary Kits in Boxes | Class 100

Note 108517: NOTE-Applies on packs or kits containing paper or plastic shrouds, ties, tags, bag and pads for wrapping bodies for transfer to mortuaries.

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.

• 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.
