Mortuary Cooler Basics
Whether you work in a funeral home, a morgue, or a hospital, keeping remains at the right temperature is paramount. These facilities use specialized equipment to do so, including mortuary coolers. These units are designed with exclusive features that cater to the industry’s unique requirements, prioritizing the following:
Temperature Control
When dealing with deceased individuals, temperature control is especially critical. At American Cooler Technologies, we offer walk-in coolers that meet the standards of the U.S. Department of Health and the safety provisions of Underwriters Laboratories.
Reliability
Mortuaries and funeral homes require units that are thoughtfully designed and built to last. This includes heavy-duty materials that protect the contents, insulation that holds in the cold temperatures, and security features that protect against unauthorized access.
Safety
When storing remains, funeral and mortuary business owners must abide by specific requirements. This includes keeping them off the ground, ensuring they are at the proper temperature, and keeping only a single individual per table tray or container. Complying with all relevant regulations helps ensure your facility doesn’t have to deal with legal ramifications, fines, or business disruptions.
What Are Some of the Common Configurations for Mortuary Coolers?
Not all morgues or funeral homes have the same setup, which means you’ll want a company that can adapt your cooler to your business’s layout. There are a few common designs that business owners tend to choose from, including:
- Roll-in systems: These coolers are designed to store remains rolled in on a cot or stretcher. If the systems are large enough, several deceased individuals may be stored inside.
- Rack systems: These units are designed for upright storage. Because of their design, they are especially good for morgues or funeral homes that lack space and need a compact option.
- Walk-in coolers: If you need a larger unit, walk-in coolers are a smart choice. They allow you to maximize the amount of storage space available.
Regardless of which style you choose, American Cooler Technologies can create a custom option that matches your setup. This includes insulation that meets U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 2009 regulations, an array of different door options, window additions, and NSF and UL-approved fluorescent and incandescent lighting. We also offer several options for door security, insulated panels, and more.
