The collapsible cadaver rack of claim 7, wherein the “U” shaped bracket further comprises holes, either the horizontal beams or vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports comprise a bore, and wherein the holes of “U” shaped bracket are aligned with the bore of the horizontal beams or the vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports such that a pin may be placed therethrough to create a secure connection. 9. The vertically collapsible cadaver rack of claim 7, wherein each “U” shaped bracket further comprises flexible indentions such that each “U” shaped bracket can be securely fit to one of said at least two horizontal beams or to one of said vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports, wherein the flexible indentions partially restrict upward force on each “U” shaped bracket once each “U” shaped bracket is fully received by one of said at least two horizontal beams or one of said vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports. 10. The vertically collapsible cadaver rack of claim 1, wherein a hinge is connected in between adjacent ones of said at least four frame members. 11. The vertically collapsible cadaver rack of claim 1, wherein adjacent ones of said vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports are further connected by a support brace when the rack is in the first open position. 12. The collapsible cadaver rack of claim 11, wherein the removable support braces each have two ends with holes, and wherein the adjacent vertically oriented supports have cavities that are in alignment with the holes of each end of the removable support members when the rack is in the first open position; and wherein the removable support braces are connected to the vertically adjacent supports by a screw positioned through the hole of the removable support braces and through the cavities of the vertically adjacent supports and which is mated with a nut. 13. The vertically collapsible cadaver rack of claim 11, wherein the support brace has a top end and a bottom end;wherein the top end is permanently hingeably connected to a first hinge located on one of said adjacent ones of said vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports; andwherein the bottom end is removably connected to a second hinge located on another one of said adjacent ones of said vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports. 14. A vertically collapsible cadaver rack, the rack comprising: an upper rack portion and a lower rack portion;at least two vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports comprising:at least two horizontal beams internally positioned within each vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped support, wherein the vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports are collapsibly connected by at least eight frame members,wherein at least four of the at least eight frame members are located adjacent to the upper rack portion and at least one of the at least eight frame members is located adjacent to the lower rack portion,such that the rack can be oriented in: a first open position where the at least eight frame members are in a substantially horizontal position; anda vertically-oriented second position where the at least eight frame members are in a substantially vertical position; andwherein adjacent ones of said at least two vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports are further connected by a support brace when the rack is in the first open position; andat least two removable guide rails which each abut one of said horizontal beams of each at least two vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports, wherein each removable guide rail can be positioned at different locations along the horizontal beam of each at least two vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports such that the space between the at least two removable guide rails is variable;wherein the removable guide rails may be positioned within the collapsible cadaver rack when the collapsible cadaver rack is in the first open position; and wherein when the rack is oriented in the vertically-oriented second position, the rack is vertically stable, and remains vertical, without requiring additional vertical stabilizing support. 15. The vertically collapsible cadaver rack of claim 14, wherein the rack further comprises a cadaver transfer board adapted to receive a human cadaver, wherein the at least two removable guide rails can receive the cadaver transfer board when the collapsible cadaver rack is in the first open position. 16. The vertically collapsible cadaver rack of claim 14, wherein each of the at least two removable guide rails further comprises a first end and a second end wherein the first end and second end comprise a “U” shaped bracket and wherein each “U” shaped bracket is configured to receive one of said at least two horizontal beams or is configured to receive one of said vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports. 17. The vertically collapsible cadaver rack of claim 16, wherein the “U” shaped bracket further comprises flexible indentions such that the “U” shaped bracket can be securely fit to the horizontal beams or one of said vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports, wherein the flexible indentions partially restrict upward force on “U” shaped bracket once each “U” shaped bracket is fully received by the horizontal beams or one of said vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports. 18. The vertically collapsible cadaver rack of claim 14, wherein each of the at least two removable guide rails further comprise rollers. 19. A vertically collapsible cadaver rack, the rack comprising: an upper rack portion and a lower rack portion;at least two vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports comprising at least two horizontal beams internally positioned within each vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped support and wheels located at a bottom portion of each of the at least two vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports, wherein each vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped support is collapsibly connected by at least four hinged frame members to an adjacent one of said at least two vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports,wherein at least two of the at least four hinged frame members are located adjacent to the upper rack portion and at least two of the at least four frame members are located adjacent to the lower rack portion, such that the rack can be oriented in: a first open position where the frame members are in a horizontal position, anda second vertically-collapsed position where the frame members are in a substantially vertical position;at least two removable guide rails which abut one of said horizontal beams of each of the at least two vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports comprising: a first end and a second end wherein the first end and the second end comprise a “U” shaped bracket and wherein each “U” shaped bracket is configured to receive one of said at least two horizontal beams or is configured to receive one of said vertically-oriented geometrically-shaped supports; anda series of rollers; andwherein when the rack is oriented in the second vertically-collapsed position, the rack is vertically stable, and remains in a vertical position, without requiring additional vertical stabilizing support. 20. The vertically collapsible rack of claim 19 wherein each removable guide rail can be positioned at different locations along one of said at least two horizontal beams is such that the space between the at least two removable guide rails is variable. 21. The vertically collapsible rack of claim 19 further comprising a cadaver transfer board adapted to receive a human cadaver, wherein the cadaver transfer board can be placed abutting the at least two removable guide rails and the series of rollers when the collapsible cadaver rack is in the first open position.
