Horizontal Mortuary Coolers
Horizontal mortuary coolers store bodies side by side at cot level instead of stacked high: roll-in, triple-wide and side-load morgue coolers, factory direct.
Horizontal Mortuary Coolers
A horizontal mortuary cooler spreads storage across the width of the cabinet instead of up its height. Bodies rest side by side at or near cot level, so staff roll a cot straight in and nobody lifts to an upper tier. It takes more floor space than an upright, and it is the safest format for small teams and bariatric cases.

Frequently asked questions
What is a horizontal mortuary cooler?
A cooler that stores bodies side by side at or near cot level, rather than stacked on tiers. Roll-in and triple-wide roll-in coolers are the most common horizontal designs.
Is a horizontal cooler the same as a roll-in cooler?
Most horizontal coolers are roll-in coolers. The body stays on the cot and rolls straight in through a cot-height opening.
How many bodies does a horizontal cooler hold?
Our horizontal models hold 2 or 3 bodies. The triple-wide roll-in holds three side by side, with 850 lb per position.
What power does it need?
The triple-wide roll-in runs on 115V single-phase with a NEMA 5-20R plug on a dedicated 20 A circuit. Check each product page for its requirement.
Is financing available?
Financing is available through Shop Pay, including 0% offers with approved credit.
