Standard design features
Self-contained drop-in refrigeration. The cooling unit sits on top of the cabinet as one factory-packaged system, so no refrigeration lines are run on site and no floor drain is needed.
Digital thermometer and temperature controller. A digital display shows the box temperature at a glance, and the controller holds the setpoint you choose for body holding.
Heavy-duty slide-out roller rack. The included 3-tier rack slides out through the side doors for loading at each tier.
Insulated panels. Cabinet panels are insulated with expanded or extruded polystyrene.
Shipping and setup choices. Order the cabinet factory assembled or unassembled. Four 6″ casters and an interior light are available.
Warranty. 15 years on panels and doors, 5 years mechanical, and 2 years parts and labor. Made in the USA.
Door hardware and refrigeration
Chrome-plated hardware. Both doors use heavy-duty chrome-plated hardware. A standard handle is included. Add the lockable handle to keep the cooler closed to everyone except authorized staff.
Energy-compliant refrigeration. The self-contained drop-in refrigeration system uses A2L refrigerant and meets current DOE/EPA efficiency rules. Standard units are sized for a conditioned room, and upgrade levels are available for warmer rooms.
Ambient Room Temperature & Refrigeration Sizing, Read Before You Order
The temperature of the room around your cooler matters as much as the cooler itself. Every refrigeration system rejects heat into that room. The hotter the room, the longer the compressor runs, and the harder it is to hold a steady 34–40°F. Standard refrigeration is sized for a conditioned, ventilated indoor room. If your space runs warm, upsize the refrigeration when you order.
Why ambient temperature is critical
Holding temperature: an undersized system in a hot room cannot recover after each door opening, so box temperature drifts above 40°F.
Compressor life: long, continuous run times in high heat wear out the compressor and fans early.
Humidity: warm, humid rooms put more moisture into the cabinet each time the doors open, which makes the system work harder.
Warranty: incorrect sizing, installation or placement voids the warranty. Choose the level that matches your hottest conditions, not your average.
How to choose
Measure the room where the cooler will sit at the hottest time of day in the hottest month, not when the HVAC is running at its best.
Account for heat from nearby equipment, sun-facing walls, bay doors and how often the cooler is opened.
Keep the required clearances: 1″–1.5″ around the cabinet and 16″ above and around the compressor. A blocked compressor behaves like a hot room.
Install indoors only. Unconditioned garages, mechanical rooms and rooms next to crematory retorts need a review before ordering, call 1-888-792-9315.
What temperature does this mortuary cooler hold, and when is a freezer needed?
It holds a steady 34–40°F for short-term body holding. Facilities that hold remains longer, or hold unidentified cases, add a mortuary freezer. Compare both in mortuary cooler vs. morgue freezer.
How many bodies does it hold, and how does it load?
It holds 3 bodies on the included 3-tier roller rack, one per tier. Two doors on the long side open to an 87" clear interior opening, and the rack slides out for side loading. The cabinet is 95"W × 40"D × 70"H, or 85.5"H with the cooling unit.
What room conditions does it need?
Standard refrigeration is sized for a climate-controlled, ventilated indoor room at 65–75°F with normal door use. If the room runs warmer or sees heavy door traffic, choose a Refrigeration Upsize option.
Does it need a floor drain or special electrical?
No. The refrigeration is fully self-contained and needs no drain. It plugs into a standard 115V household outlet, with no special wiring.
Upright, roll-in or walk-in: which fits my facility?
Yes. Send your room dimensions and body capacity through the custom walk-in quote request, and we will return a written quote.
How is shipping charged?
The cooler ships by freight, and shipping is calculated at checkout for your delivery address. Purchase orders are accepted.
