What Are Funeral Mortuary Supplies?
Funeral mortuary supplies encompass a broad range of professional-grade equipment and consumables used for the dignified handling, preparation, and storage of human remains. These items are critical for maintaining health, hygiene, and safety in funeral homes, crematories, pathology labs, and medical examiner offices.
🛠️ Must-Have Funeral Equipment for Every Mortuary
1. Mortuary Stretchers & Removal Cots
These are the cornerstone of every mortuary operation. Designed for one-person operation, mortuary stretchers often feature adjustable heights, lockable wheels, and safety straps. Models like the AME PRO 650 and AME 1000-1KP offer heavy-duty bariatric support and are essential for efficient transport.
✅ Pro Tip: Look for cots with built-in Microban surface protection and FDA/CE certifications for extra safety.
2. Mortuary Coolers & Walk-In Refrigeration Units
From single-body upright units to 10x12 walk-in mortuary coolers, refrigeration systems ensure proper body preservation. Features like drop-in self-contained refrigeration, digital temperature controls, and side-loading accessmake them ideal for high-volume facilities.
📦 Optional Upgrades: Casters, lighting, racking systems, and freezer conversions.
3. Embalming Tables & Autopsy Sinks
Heavy-duty embalming tables (e.g., the 1038-MHDE-S) are used for preparation and sanitation. Many are made of 304 stainless steel, offer adjustable heights, and include integrated drains for fluid management.
4. Body Trays & Casket Pouches
Stainless steel body trays and plush mortuary cot pouches protect remains during storage and transport. Look for Scotchgard-treated pouches to add moisture resistance and durability.
