- Cooling_board abstract "A cooling board was a perforated wooden platform on which a dead body would be temporarily stored and prepared for a funeral. Ice was placed beneath it to keep the body chilled, slowing the decomposition process. Holes in the cooling board, which could be made of cane latticework rather than a solid wooden plank, allowed blood and other fluids to drain from the body. It could also be used to display the body for a viewing if the casket was not delivered in time. Metal embalming tables replaced cooling boards as modern refrigeration became available.The cooling board is referred to in a number of blues songs, such as "Cooling Board Blues" by Blind Willie McTell.Son House also makes a reference to a cooling board in his "Death Letter".So, I grabbed up my suitcase, and took off down the road.When I got there she was layin on a coolin' board.A cooling board is also found in a song, "Thank You, Master (For My Soul)", by the late Donnie Hathaway: 'cause the walls of my room was not the walls of my gravemy bed was not my cooling board (y'all don't know what i'm talkin' 'bout)Benjamin B.
