n California, strict refrigeration laws govern the handling and storage of human remains. Funeral establishments, crematories, and medical facilities are required to use certified refrigeration units if remains are not embalmed within a limited time frame.
At MyMortuaryCooler.com, we deliver high-efficiency, American-built mortuary coolers that meet all California regulations and are designed to perform in the state’s wide-ranging climate — from the Southern deserts to the Northern coast.
California Funeral Law Requirements for Cold Storage
According to California Health and Safety Code § 7355, and enforced by the California Cemetery and Funeral Bureau:
-
Human remains must be embalmed or refrigerated within 24 hours
-
Refrigeration units must maintain ≤ 50°F (10°C) to preserve the body
-
Licensed funeral homes and crematories must have approved cold storage on-site
-
Facilities are subject to state inspections and disciplinary action for noncompliance
Failure to meet these standards may result in citations, license penalties, or facility shutdowns.
