Posted by: American Mortuary Coolers

Why Norlake Falls Short in the Mortuary Space

Norlake specializes in general refrigeration — walk-ins for foodservice and labs. When it comes to mortuary and medical coolers, their offerings often:

Cost 15%+ more on average than American Mortuary Coolers
Involve longer lead times due to reseller channels
Lack direct factory support specific to mortuary needs
Require buyers to navigate dealer-driven pricing instead of transparent, direct quotes
