Outfitting a new funeral home or replacing aging equipment across multiple categories is most efficiently done with one supplier covering the full equipment range. This post covers every funeral home equipment category and the AMC product recommendation for each — structured so you can build a single-vendor purchase order.

1. Body Storage — Mortuary Coolers

Funeral home body storage starts with the right mortuary cooler. For most single-location funeral homes, a 6-body dual-door upright cooler or 4-body upright cooler is the standard configuration. Multi-location groups or high-volume funeral homes typically use walk-in coolers: 10×10 or 10×16 walk-in with interior 4-tier side-loading racks. See: Mortuary Coolers | Body Storage Systems Hub.

2. First Call Equipment

First call removal starts with the right mortuary cot. AMC’s PRO 1000X (1,000 lb) handles bariatric first call. The PRO 650X (650 lb) is the workhorse for standard removals. Add 18 mil body bags, body removal trays, and restraint straps to complete the first call kit. See: First Call Equipment Hub.

3. Prep Room Equipment

The prep room requires an embalming table, a dressing table, water control, and a sink system. AMC’s Oversized Hydraulic Embalming Table (850 lb) covers bariatric cases. The Water Control Unit is the standard prep room fluid management system. Add a Flushing Embalming Station and Foot Pedal Sink for complete OSHA-compliant prep room infrastructure. See: Prep Room Equipment Hub.

4. Body Handling — Lifts & Racks

The Low Profile Powered Mortuary Lift is the standard prep room body handling lift. Pair with 4-tier cadaver racks in the cooler for a complete storage and handling system. See: Mortuary Lifts Hub · Mortuary Racks Hub.

5. Casket Transport

Church trucks in the finish matching your chapel decor. Casket trolleys for your showroom. Electric casket lifts for prep room-to-chapel transfer. See: Church Trucks & Funeral Equipment Hub · Church Trucks Collection.

6. Funeral Supplies

Body bags, restraint straps, body positioners, slider boards — see the Funeral Supplies & Equipment Hub.
