BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Several display systems dedicated to death are well known in the art. The most primitive of such systems consists of a shelf or support for the display of coffins.
See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 2,937,768 which discloses a two-tier shelf "which has a structure
rigid similar to a c-profile frame for the display of two coffins - one coffin supported on top of the other. U.S. Patent No. 5,405,017 which discloses a more modern casket display system for complete coffins. The display system of the '017 patent which includes a display stand of two folding bleachers by means of a scissor unit which, in turn, is connected to a bar. The display shelf of the 017 patent is not an integral part of the casket display system. While the casket display system of the '017 patent offers a calmer assembly than the primitive systems of the previous technology, as advance in the patent x768, does not allow the exhibition of all the merchandise used in the industry dedicated to the death and Funerals especially related to urns and vaults for inhumations. In addition, it does not allow the display of decorative accessories for merchandise dedicated to death. In particular, the exposure of vaults for inhumations is problematic due to the fact that their size exceeds the size of a coffin. In this way, the exhibition of the vaults for burials is more appropriate for the exhibition of miniatures. Therefore, there is a need for an exhibition system that allows the display of a greater volume and a greater type of merchandise related to the death of greater ease for the future buyer. However, with the display of miniatures, the
ornaments on them will not be fully visible to the occasional observer. Therefore, an exhibition unit capable of exposing numerous miniatures of death-dedicated merchandise along with life-size ornaments is necessary. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A merchandise display unit dedicated to death which maximizes the display of miniature products of merchandise dedicated to death along with life-size samples of its ornaments comprises two spaced-wing wall panels, vertical and parallel and a vertical back wall that has lateral edges secured to the back edges of the wing wall panels. Placed on the wall panels and the walls of the vertical backrest are joined to hold miniature replicas of various items of merchandise dedicated to death. These can be united to contain the miniature replicas of various items of merchandise dedicated to death. The vertical back wall can be divided into sections denoting the line of merchandise dedicated to death. 0 Sections can be used to display different types of merchandise dedicated to death. Adapted to and accommodated to the vertical back wall or to the side wing walls are the surfaces for the display of ornaments for the merchandise dedicated to the death shown on the fasteners. This
In this way, a complete line of voluminous merchandise dedicated to death can be exhibited in miniature, and the optional adornments to them can also be displayed in the same unit in natural size. This unit allows a full variety of options to be presented to the consumer and the details of the decorations are not diminished. In addition, a ledge may extend through the top of the backrest panel attached to the sidewall walls or may extend outwardly from the backrest wall. The cornice can be decorated with geometric patterns or contain a help for the consumer indicating either the lines of merchandise that is being displayed or any other message that the retailer wishes to transport belonging to the merchandise.
