How to Choose a Mortuary Van Deck System by Vehicle

Deck systems are engineered to specific vehicle platforms — wheelbase, roof height, and interior width all dictate which system fits. Start with your vehicle, then match the deck. This guide maps the American Mortuary Equipment lineup to the most common removal vehicles.

Match your vehicle to a deck system

The three measurements that matter

• Wheelbase — double-deck systems generally need a minimum 140" wheelbase on full-size vans.
• Roof height — affects upper-deck clearance for caskets and cremation containers.
• Interior width — determines whether standard and oversized cots fit side-by-side.

Watch-outs

Vehicles with rear A/C units or dual rear-wheel packages can restrict installation, and every double-deck install requires a van partition bulkhead. Always confirm fitment before ordering. See the full deck systems collection.

Frequently asked questions

What if my vehicle isn't listed?

Call us with your year, make, model, wheelbase, and roof height. Many platforms are supported beyond the common configurations.

Is the Mercedes Metris the only mid-size option?

The DD-EX2 is purpose-engineered for the Metris — the only double-deck system built for a mid-size van. Other mid-size vehicles typically use a single-deck system.
