Coroner Equipment & Morgue Cooling — Body Storage Guide for County Coroner Offices

Guide to coroner equipment and morgue cooling for county coroner offices: upright mortuary coolers with alarm relay, first-call cots, transport equipment, and government PO procurement support.
2 min read

County coroner offices operate with a different equipment profile than medical examiner offices or funeral homes. Most coroners work directly with contracted funeral homes for body storage but need their own first-call transport equipment and may operate a small mortuary cooler for temporary holding. This guide covers the AMC equipment line for county coroner operations.

Coroner Mortuary Coolers

County coroner offices that hold bodies at their own facility — rather than contracting directly to a funeral home — typically operate 2-body through 6-body upright mortuary coolers. AMC’s upright coolers with digital temperature logging and alarm relay output meet the documentation requirements of most county coroner offices. Vault-style coolers are available for coroner offices requiring individual compartment access control for chain-of-custody compliance.

Products: 4-Body Upright Cooler · 6-Body Dual-Door Cooler. See: Coroner Office Cooler Hub · Coroner Cooler Hub · Coroner Equipment Hub.

Coroner First-Call Equipment

County coroner investigators conducting scene calls need AMC first-call mortuary cots rated for the jurisdiction’s typical case weights. The PRO 1000X Mortuary Cot (1,000 lb) and PRO 650X (650 lb) are the standard coroner investigator cot configurations. 18 Mil Heavy Duty Body Bags and Disaster Pouches for coroner scene use. See: First Call Equipment Hub.

Coroner Transport Equipment

For transport from scene to contracted funeral home or morgue facility: Covered Cadaver Carrier for dignified indoor transport. Cadaver Stretcher Cart for in-facility movement.

Government Procurement for Coroner Offices

AMC accepts county government purchase orders with W-9. County coroner offices purchasing under local government procurement rules can request letter quotes for budget authorization and bid documentation from AMC.
