Mortuary cooler buying guide
Size a mortuary cooler in three steps: how many bodies you hold on a busy week, how you load them, and the room you are putting it in.
- Step 1
Set the capacity
Cabinet coolers hold 2 to 4 bodies, multi-door coolers 4 to 12, and walk-in mortuary coolers hold more with racks. Plan for your busiest week, not your average one.
- Step 2
Choose how you load
Roll-in coolers take the cot straight in at floor level. Upright coolers stack bodies on roller tiers. Vault coolers give each body its own chamber and door. Walk-ins pair with mortuary racks and a lift.
- Step 3
Check size and the room
Pick an extra-wide, bariatric-capable model for larger decedents. Measure the room, doorways and delivery route, and check the electrical requirements on each model.

What is a morgue cooler?
A morgue cooler, also called a mortuary cooler, cadaver cooler or body refrigerator, is refrigerated storage that holds remains just above freezing to slow decomposition until embalming, viewing, autopsy, cremation or burial. Funeral homes, hospitals, medical examiners, coroners and anatomy programs use them. American Mortuary Coolers units are set up for 34–40°F body holding. For long-term storage, see our morgue freezers.
What temperature should a morgue cooler be?
Refrigerated body holding runs at 34–40°F, which is the operating range listed on our coolers. Holding longer than days to weeks calls for a morgue freezer, which keeps remains at sub-zero temperatures. Read the temperature guide.
What types of morgue coolers are there?
Upright coolers store 2 to 4 bodies on tiers behind front doors and fit inside a prep room. Roll-in coolers accept a cot directly and come in 2-body and 3-body widths. Walk-in coolers are modular insulated rooms, from 6′ × 8′ up to 24′ × 24′, for higher caseloads. Morgue freezers cover long-term storage.
How many bodies does a morgue cooler hold?
Size to your peak caseload, not your average week, and plan for your largest expected case. Upright and roll-in units hold 2 to 4 bodies. A 20′ × 20′ walk-in holds 30 to 50 bodies on 4-tier side-loading racks, each tier rated to 850 lb.
What power does a mortuary cooler need?
Our 2-body standard roll-in cooler runs on 115V single-phase power with a NEMA 5-20R plug. Upright vault-style units and most larger systems need 208–230V. Each product page lists its electrical requirements, so confirm them with your electrician before ordering.
What features matter in a mortuary cooler?
Look for 4″ urethane insulated panels, self-contained or remote split refrigeration, NSF and UL listings, ASTM E84 Class A panels and DOE/EPA EISA 2007 walk-in compliance. HALO Smart monitoring with 24/7 alerts is available on select walk-in models.
How are mortuary coolers delivered and installed?
Coolers ship by LTL freight. Walk-in systems arrive palletized, so a forklift or fork-equipped equipment is needed at delivery, and some upright units ship unassembled. Lead time, freight and installation details are listed on each product page.
Can we finance or use a purchase order?
Yes. 0% financing offers are through Shop Pay with approved credit, and we accept purchase orders from municipal, county, state, university and hospital buyers.
