American Mortuary Coolers vs. Arctic Walk-Ins: The Clear Choice for Clinical Refrigeration

Why American Mortuary Coolers Is the Purpose-Built Solution for Mortuaries & Medical Facilities

Not all walk-in coolers are created equal — especially when it comes to handling cadaver storage, autopsy support, or pathology workflows. Arctic Walk-Ins provides refrigeration for many industries, but American Mortuary Coolers is 100% focused on morgue refrigeration, anatomy labs, funeral homes, crematories, and mortuary schools.

Here’s how we’re different — and why thousands of facilities trust us across the United States.


🛠️ Mortuary-Engineered from the Ground Up

Unlike Arctic Walk-Ins, our coolers are not repurposed food storage boxes. They are engineered specifically for:

  • Cadaver and bariatric body storage

  • Gurney roll-in access and tray rail systems

  • Clinical compliance with OSHA and NSF standards

  • Humidity control and precise temperature holds at 35°F

  • Secure, oversized doors with mortuary-grade hardware

Whether you operate a county coroner’s office, hospital, forensic lab, or funeral home, you need more than a general-purpose walk-in cooler — you need refrigeration built for human dignity and technical precision.


🇺🇸 Made in the USA for Mortuary Professionals

Arctic Walk-Ins offers refrigeration for restaurants, warehouses, and food processors. At American Mortuary Coolers, we specialize exclusively in clinical-grade refrigeration for the death care, medical, and educational sectors.

Our walk-in mortuary coolers:

  • Use closed-cell ECO foam insulation

  • Feature drop-in, self-contained or remote refrigeration systems

  • Include UL-rated floors for 1,000 lb/ft² point loads

  • Come with options like casters, ramps, body boards, and interior lighting


🧪 Supporting Medical Schools, Pathology Labs, and Funeral Homes Nationwide

Over 7,500 facilities across the U.S. rely on our mortuary equipment — including:

  • Anatomy & embalming labs

  • Medical examiner offices

  • Veterinary pathology units

  • Mortuary transport companies

  • Disaster relief mobile units

Our consultative approach ensures your cooler is designed around your space, staff, and storage needs — not just the basic refrigeration footprint.


🧰 Custom Options & Support Arctic Can’t Offer

Most Arctic coolers are limited in terms of tray systems, door hardware, or OSHA safety features. We provide:

  • Side-load or end-load racking

  • Digital temp controllers with LED readouts

  • Locking handles with keys

  • Custom door hinge configurations (left/right swing)

  • Optional assembly, white-glove delivery, and install services

Need guidance on code compliance? Our team has helped clients navigate California seismic codes, Florida wind loads, and Washington State body hold times.


🛡️ Warranties & Value Engineering

We offer unmatched warranty coverage:

  • 15 Years on panels

  • 5 Years on compressors

  • 2 Years on all parts & labor

  • Optional extended warranty programs

Our team works directly with facilities to balance budget and performance, often saving customers thousands of dollars versus the cost of general-purpose refrigeration.


Choose Mortuary Refrigeration Built for Your Mission

Arctic Walk-Ins may build good cold storage boxes, but when it comes to human cadaver storage, autopsy rooms, cremation facilities, and forensic applications, American Mortuary Coolers is the name professionals trust.
