American Mortuary Coolers vs. KPS Global – The Leader in Mortuary Coolers and Walk-In Coolers

Mortuary Cooling Requires More than General Walk-Ins

When searching for walk-in coolers, many facilities encounter KPS Global — a major manufacturer of refrigerated boxes and cold storage for foodservice and warehousing. But mortuary facilities require specialized refrigeration systems, not generic cold rooms.

This is where American Mortuary Coolers (AMC) excels. We are the true manufacturer of mortuary-specific coolers, cadaver refrigeration, and walk-in morgue systems. Unlike KPS Global, AMC focuses exclusively on mortuary science, delivering custom-built coolers that are safer, stronger, and fully compliant.

Mortuary Coolers: The AMC Difference

Mortuary coolers are not just cold rooms — they are precision-engineered cadaver storage systems.

AMC’s mortuary coolers feature:

304 Stainless Steel Interiors – Hygienic, corrosion-resistant, and easy to disinfect.
Cadaver Racks and Roll-In Trays – Built for 2, 3, 4, or 6+ body configurations.
Oversized Bariatric Options – For obese cadavers up to 1,000 lbs.
Custom Sizes – From compact funeral home coolers to large county morgue vaults.
Temperature Reliability – Consistent 34°F–38°F storage.
OSHA/CDC Compliance – Designed for safe, professional mortuary operations.

KPS Global may build walk-ins for food and beverage, but they do not integrate body storage racks, bariatric options, or mortuary-specific compliance features.

AMC Walk-In Coolers – Built for Mortuaries

Our walk-in mortuary coolers are engineered for small funeral homes and large morgues alike.

Popular Models:

2 Body Roll-In Walk-In Cooler (Model 2000-2BX-C)
3 Body Upright Walk-In Cooler (Model 2000-3BX-C)
4 Body Upright Cooler – 2 Door (Model 2000-4B2D)
10x12 Walk-In Mortuary Cooler (Model 2000-1012)
6 Bay Vault-Style Cooler (Model 1070-3MB6)

Built-in compliance for OSHA and CDC.

KPS Global offers standard refrigerated boxes, but AMC provides complete mortuary walk-in solutions.

Compared to KPS Global’s general-purpose walk-ins, AMC provides longer-lasting, mortuary-grade coolers designed specifically for cadaver storage.

Complete Mortuary Solutions – Beyond Walk-Ins

Unlike KPS Global, AMC is not just a cooler company. We are a full-service mortuary equipment manufacturer.

Our product line includes:

Mortuary Coolers & Walk-Ins – 2 to 20+ body configurations.
Cadaver Lifts & Body Handling Equipment.
Mortuary Stretchers & Cots.

This makes AMC the one-stop solution for all mortuary refrigeration and equipment needs.

Compliance & Safety Standards

Every AMC cooler is designed for mortuary compliance:

OSHA workplace safety.

CAP laboratory standards.

KPS Global walk-ins may be food-grade, but they are not built for mortuary compliance. AMC ensures every cooler meets the exact needs of funeral homes, morgues, and hospitals.

AMC products are delivered with multiple options:

Knock-Down Panels – For easy freight shipping.
Pre-Assembled Options – For small units.
Palletized & Crated – For protection during shipping.

Durability – Stainless steel construction, not basic panels.
Customization – Fully custom-built mortuary coolers.
Oversized Solutions – Bariatric cadaver coolers available.
Compliance – OSHA, CDC, CAP safety built in.
Longevity – 20+ years of reliable service.

KPS Global = General refrigeration. AMC = Mortuary refrigeration experts.

Conclusion: AMC Sets the Standard in Mortuary Refrigeration

While KPS Global may dominate the general walk-in cooler market, they do not specialize in mortuary refrigeration. American Mortuary Coolers is the leader in mortuary coolers, cadaver storage, and walk-in mortuary systems, delivering unmatched durability, stainless steel quality, compliance, and custom-built solutions.

From funeral homes to hospitals and universities, professionals trust AMC as the better choice over KPS Global.
