A morgue cooler is far more than just cold storage—it’s a critical piece of equipment in hospitals, county medical examiner offices, and funeral homes across the country. Whether you're storing one or multiple decedents, your cooler must provide precise temperature control, sanitary interiors, and full inspection compliance.
At American Mortuary Coolers, we build mortuary-grade refrigeration systems designed specifically for cadaver storage—with the performance, documentation, and durability professionals demand.
🛠️ What Is a Morgue Cooler?
A morgue cooler is a walk-in or upright refrigeration unit used to preserve human remains at temperatures between 34°F and 39°F, preventing decomposition prior to burial, cremation, or autopsy.
Unlike restaurant or floral coolers, our morgue coolers are:
-
Purpose-built with body tray compatibility
-
Designed with easy-clean stainless interiors
-
Sized and shaped to maximize capacity and access
-
Supplied with inspection-ready documentation
