Storage capacity is set by the rack and tray system inside the cooler, and safe handling depends on the lift that serves it. These are the rack, tray and lift models buyers pair with our coolers most often. See the full mortuary lifts, racking systems and storage trays collection for every size and configuration.

Frequently asked questions
What is an upright style mortuary cooler?
It is a refrigerated cabinet that stores bodies on stacked tiers behind one or more doors, rather than in a room or at cot height.
How do staff load the upper tiers?
With a mortuary lift raised to the tier height and the tray rolled across. A lift removes the manual lift and is strongly recommended for anything above the second tier.
Upright or roll-in?
Upright gives more bodies per square foot. Roll-in avoids lifting entirely but holds fewer bodies. Many funeral homes run one of each.
Is financing available?
Financing is available through Shop Pay, including 0% offers with approved credit.
