Pink Isolation Gowns and Embalming Gowns: Color-Coding Funeral Home PPE
Pink isolation gowns perform exactly like blue ones. The color is about organization: who is wearing what, and where.
Ways to use a second gown color
- Staff vs. visitors: blue for prep staff, pink for family members at an identification viewing, trainees or vendors in the building.
- Room or zone: blue in the prep room, pink for the removal team or crematory intake, so gowns aren't carried between areas.
- Location: multi-location groups can assign a color per facility, which helps when stock is shared.
- Training: mortuary science programs can give students a different color from instructors.
- Awareness events: pink gowns are popular for October breast cancer awareness months in hospitals, labs and care centers.
Same gown, same price
Our pink Level 2 isolation gowns use the same impervious polyethylene film, thin plastic thumb loops and universal fit as the blue version, at the same price per case of 100. Each color has its own product page; add a case of each to the same cart to mix. The pink isolation gown page has pricing, specs and color-coding ideas.
Make color-coding stick
Write the color rule into your exposure-control plan, post it at the gowning station, and store each color in its own labeled case. For the rest of the PPE setup, see the new funeral home PPE checklist.
