When Standard Sizes Don't Fit — We Build to Yours
Standard walk-in cooler footprints exist because most facilities share similar floor plans. But funeral homes built in historic buildings, hospital morgues with irregular prep room dimensions, medical examiner facilities with corridor-only access, and university anatomy programs with shared infrastructure often can't use a standard box. That's where custom walk-in coolers come in.
American Mortuary Coolers engineers and builds every custom walk-in cooler from scratch at our Johnson City, Tennessee facility. You specify the footprint, door placement, door count, interior height, racking configuration, and refrigeration type. We build it to those specs, ship it as field-assembly cam-lock panels, and include full OSHA, NSF, and CAP compliance documentation on every unit.
Custom Configuration Options
Non-Standard Footprints
Any dimension to the inch. 5x6, 7x9, 9x11, 11x15, 13x17 — if it fits your space, we build it. Standard production stops at 14x14. Anything outside production sizes is custom-quoted individually. Same all-metal cam-lock panel construction. Same OSHA safety release hardware. Same NSF-certified stainless interior. Same R-28.4 insulation.
Custom Door Placement
Entry door on any wall — left side, right side, front, rear, or corner. Multiple door openings on the same unit. Pass-through dual-door configurations for high-flow workflow. Double-width doors for oversized equipment access. Every door includes the OSHA-required interior safety release and stainless hardware standard. Door clearance can be spec'd to match your widest transfer equipment.
Retrofit — Inside an Existing Room
Custom walk-in coolers sized to fit inside an existing room — the cam-lock box assembles in place, no structural modification to the room required. Door placement matches your existing entry. Insulation bonds to the existing floor without a raised floor on most configurations. Turnkey installation available in select states. Call 1-888-792-9315 to discuss your room dimensions before ordering.
Corridor-Entry Layouts
Walk-in coolers with L-shaped, angled, or corridor-access entries for facilities where the cooler can't be accessed straight-in. Multi-door configurations that match existing traffic flow in busy hospital morgues and ME facilities. Engineering review included on all corridor-entry custom builds — call for lead time and pricing.
Bariatric Oversized Configurations
Custom door widths of 42", 48", or 54" for bariatric case clearance. Reinforced interior racking rated for bariatric body weights. Extra interior height clearance where required. Coordinate with our engineering team on bariatric custom walk-in specs before ordering — door width and interior clearance must be sized correctly to your widest transfer equipment.
Outdoor Installations
Outdoor custom walk-in coolers with fiberglass exterior cladding, sealed electrical penetrations, outdoor-rated refrigeration systems, and ground-level ramp access. Deployed at crematories, disaster response staging areas, and facilities with limited indoor prep room space. Outdoor cladding resists UV, moisture, and temperature cycling without degradation.
Multi-Room Connected Systems
Two or more connected cold rooms sharing a single refrigeration system — standard room for general storage, freezer room for long-term anatomy or forensic holds, or staging room adjacent to the main storage room. Multi-room custom systems are quoted as complete engineered packages. Call 1-888-792-9315 for multi-room planning support.
Specialty Applications
Anatomy program cadaver coolers for medical and veterinary schools. Pathology lab vault coolers with CAP accreditation documentation. Veterinary morgue configurations. Aqua cremation facility staging coolers. Forensic science program custom cold storage. Every specialty application gets the same all-metal, NSF-certified, OSHA-compliant construction as our standard production line.

Not sure whether you need a standard size or custom? Use the mortuary cooler sizing guide first — most facilities find a standard production footprint works. If it doesn't, call 1-888-792-9315 for a custom consultation at no charge.
