Custom Mortuary & Morgue Equipment Fabrication

Not every facility fits a standard footprint. Custom mortuary equipment and custom morgue equipment cover the full range of non-standard sizes, layouts, and fabrication requests that a catalog configuration can't meet — from a single retrofit cooler to a full custom morgue design for a new institutional build.

Custom body storage systems

• Custom walk-in coolers — non-standard footprints, corridor layouts, custom door placement, bariatric configurations, and retrofit installs. See our custom walk-in coolers collection.
• Custom-built coolers for institutional buyers — published sizes and body counts, not just "call for a quote." See our custom-built mortuary coolers collection.
• Custom body box configurations — fully configurable body storage systems: cooler size, door count and placement, and internal layout built to order. See our build-your-own body box collection.
• Custom vault and multi-bay systems — non-standard bay counts and configurations built into our multi-bay vault morgue coolers line.

Custom stainless steel fabrication

Beyond refrigeration, custom stainless steel fabrication covers the equipment that fills out a prep room, pathology lab, or morgue: lab casework, cabinetry, workstations, and dissection or grossing stations built to exact anatomy and forensic lab specifications. Stainless is the standard material for this work — it holds up to repeated washdown and disinfectant exposure the way no coated or painted alternative can over a multi-decade service life.

Custom morgue design for new and retrofit builds

A full custom morgue design project — a new-construction hospital morgue, a university anatomy lab build-out, or a retrofit into an existing building — combines several of these categories at once: refrigeration sized to the room, racking configured to the layout, casework built to the workflow, and door and corridor placement planned around the actual building rather than a generic floor plan. Our racking systems guide and anatomy lab equipment guide cover the equipment categories that typically get specified together in a full design project.

Built-to-spec morgue equipment for institutional buyers

Institutional buyers — hospitals, medical examiner offices, universities — often need built-to-spec morgue equipment documented against a written RFP rather than an off-the-shelf catalog listing. We provide model-specific specs, published sizing (not just "call for a quote"), and RFP documentation support for exactly this kind of institutional custom order. See our government procurement and RFP guide for how that process works.

When custom makes sense over standard

Retrofit installs into existing buildings, non-standard room dimensions, unusual door or corridor placement, and institutional buyers with specific facility constraints are the most common reasons to go custom rather than catalog standard.

What custom doesn't mean

Custom fabrication still follows the same NSF, OSHA, and material standards as standard catalog equipment — it's a change in dimensions and layout, not a reduction in build quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of mortuary equipment can be custom fabricated?

Walk-in coolers, institutional-scale coolers, multi-bay vault systems, stainless lab casework, and fully configurable body storage boxes.

When should I choose custom over a standard configuration?

For retrofit installs, non-standard room dimensions, unusual door or corridor placement, or specific institutional facility constraints.

Does custom equipment meet the same compliance standards as standard equipment?

Yes, custom fabrication follows the same NSF, OSHA, and material standards — only dimensions and layout change.

What does a full custom morgue design project typically include?

Refrigeration sized to the room, racking configured to the actual layout, stainless casework built to the workflow, and door and corridor placement planned around the real building rather than a generic floor plan.

Can institutional buyers get built-to-spec equipment documented for an RFP?

Yes, we provide model-specific specs, published sizing, and RFP documentation support for institutional custom orders.
