Mortuary Cooler Finish Options: Balancing Cost & Durability

American-Made Excellence from American Mortuary Coolers:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Stainless Steel Mortuary Coolers - A Reality Check

When sourcing a funeral home cooler, mortuary cooler, medical examiner facility cooler, morgue cooler, or cadaver lab unit, be wary of claims of "all stainless steel" construction at an exceptionally low price. The reality is, a fully stainless steel cooler is significantly more expensive than standard options, often tripling the cost.

At American Mortuary Coolers, we prioritize transparency and honesty. While stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance and durability, making it ideal for specialized environments like cadaver labs and medical examiner facilities, it's simply not cost-effective for most funeral homes and mortuaries.

Why Stainless Steel is Costly:

  • Material Expense: Stainless steel is inherently more expensive than other materials like galvalume or galvanized steel.
  • Manufacturing Complexity: Working with stainless steel requires specialized equipment and processes, driving up production costs.

Our Approach:

We offer stainless steel options on an "as needed" basis, tailored to specific requirements where its benefits justify the increased cost. For standard funeral home and mortuary applications, our other high-quality finishes provide excellent performance and longevity at a more affordable price point.

Don't Be Misled:

Don't fall for misleading marketing tactics. Ensure you understand the true cost and materials involved in your cooler purchase.

A Word of Caution: Imported Mortuary Coolers vs. American-Made Quality

When investing in a funeral home cooler, mortuary cooler, medical examiner facility cooler, morgue cooler, or cadaver lab unit, it's crucial to be discerning. Be particularly wary of imported products offered by companies like Mortuary Lift Company and Slaughter Instrument. These often present themselves as cost-effective solutions but are, in reality, low-quality, non-compliant models.

The Risks of Imported Mortuary Coolers:

  • Substandard Quality: Imported units frequently use inferior materials and construction methods, leading to reduced durability and longevity.
  • Non-Compliance: These models may not meet crucial industry standards and regulations, posing potential safety and operational risks.
  • Limited Support and Warranty: Imported products often come with minimal or non-existent warranties, leaving you vulnerable to costly repairs or replacements.
