A mortuary tray for use within a first call vehicle for removing the body of a decedent from the place of death is adjustable in length to suit various vehicles and may be readily broken down into component parts for economical shipping. A rear part is adjustably received within a front part, and a ramp is hinged to the front part. These three parts may be fabricated of lightweight sheet-metal. The front part has protruding fasteners which extend within parallel slots in the rear part and secured by nuts. The ramp has three segments defined by two folds: a first segment aligns with and extends over the rear opening of a vehicle, a second segment extends over the rear bumper, and a narrow third part is the first which engages a mortuary cot as it enters the vehicle.
