The table on which a corpse is laid is either an embalming table or a dressing table. You may be talking about a mortuary cot, which is a stretcher that is used to transfer remains. Some funeral homes will use a mortuary cot as an alternative to a rental casket to save the cost of the casket rental for the family, for repose. Finally, a few funeral homes have a special table with a thin cushion, used for repose as well. This table is called a funerarium.
