Government and institutional buyers — hospitals, medical examiner offices, universities, DMORT and emergency management teams — often need to navigate procurement processes that private funeral homes don't. Here's what to expect.

Purchase orders & institutional billing

We accept institutional purchase orders across our mortuary cooler, pathology, and body-handling equipment lines — a common requirement for government and university buyers who can't use standard checkout.

RFP & bid specifications

Government procurement often requires detailed written specifications for a competitive bid process. Our team supports RFP documentation across product lines including vault-style morgue coolers, autopsy and anatomy equipment, and mass casualty and DMORT-style refrigeration.

Timeline planning

Government procurement cycles run longer than standard commercial orders — build lead time for bid, approval, and PO processing into your project timeline alongside our stated production lead times.
