- A large, wide, and solid wood table, often with an enamelled top that rests on thick legs which often have connecting stretchers, a strap and drawers. It may sometimes have draining wells. It is high enough to work around it while standing. Used by morticians and undertakers as a surface on which human corpses are drained of the body fluids and injected with substances to preserve it against decomposition.
