Autopsy Room Equipment Planning Guide

Planning an autopsy room requires coordination of tables, sinks, coolers, lifts, ventilation, and utilities. USPE and AMC work with facilities teams to design a complete morgue system matched to your space, case volume, and institutional standards. This guide covers the planning process from initial assessment through equipment selection and installation.

Step 1: Assess Your Space

Measure room dimensions, identify utility locations (water, drain, electrical), note ceiling height, and confirm floor load limits. Photos help significantly during quote assessment.

Step 2: Select Equipment

Choose autopsy table type (pedestal, vented, flat), sink configuration, cooler size (standalone or walk-in), lift capacity, and supporting storage. Case volume and operator preferences drive selection.
