Mortuary Cot Buying Guide — First Call, Bariatric, and Powered Removal Cots
Choosing the right mortuary cot for your removal operation is more nuanced than it appears. Load capacity, height adjustment, single-operator usability, and durability under daily use all vary significantly between models. This guide covers the AMC mortuary cot line and when to use each configuration.
Standard First Call Mortuary Cots
The 500E Standard Mortuary Cot is the workhorse removal cot for funeral homes with average body weight and volume. Rated to 550 lbs, multi-level height adjustment, all-steel frame.
Mid-Range Mortuary Cots
The PRO 650X Multi-Level Cot is rated to 650 lbs and features more granular height adjustment — better for single-operator use in residential removal settings. The most popular AMC cot by unit volume.
