2, 3, & 4 Body Coolers — The Three Sizes That Fit Most Funeral Homes
The vast majority of funeral homes and mortuaries are served by one of three cooler sizes: a 2-body cooler, a 3-body cooler, or a 4-body cooler. The right choice comes down to your annual caseload, your prep room footprint, and whether you handle bariatric cases. Every American Mortuary Coolers body cooler is 100% self-contained, plugs into a standard 110V outlet, needs no plumbing or drainage, ships without requiring a forklift, and carries a 15-year panel warranty.
This page compares all three. Jump straight to a capacity, or call 1-888-792-9315 and we'll match the right size to your operation.

2-Body Coolers
The 2-Body Roll-In Mortuary Cooler lets a mortuary cot or dressing table roll directly inside — no lifting. Removable roller shelf, digital thermometer, 110V self-contained. Ideal for single-location funeral homes with low-to-moderate caseloads.
The Extra-Wide 2-Body Roll-In (2BRX) adds bariatric-compatible cot access with a heavy-duty roller shelf and custom door hinge. For homes handling bariatric first call removals.
The 2-Body Vault Style Cooler uses individual vault doors with telescoping stainless trays. Compact footprint, 23" or 27" trays — for homes that prefer tray storage over cot roll-in.
3-Body Coolers
The 3-Body Standard Upright Cooler is the most common funeral home cooler on the market. Drop-in self-contained refrigeration, digital thermometer, chrome hardware, slide-out shelving. Ships assembled or unassembled — no forklift needed either way. 15yr panels · 5yr mechanical · 2yr parts & labor.
The 3-Body Extra-Wide (3BX) offers a 36" bariatric-rated interior, 4-tier roller rack, and 110V plug-and-play. Standard 3-body capacity with wider clearance for larger cases.
The 3-Body Side-Load Cooler accesses trays from the side instead of the front, maximizing prep room floor space. Ideal where front clearance is limited.
4-Body Coolers
The 4-Body 2-Door Cooler has two independent refrigerated sections, each with its own door — accessing one body doesn't disrupt the other compartment's temperature. Insulated floor, LED lighting, removable loading ramp. For high-volume homes and centralized care centers.
The 4-Body Extra-Wide Cooler delivers maximum density in minimum floor space with vertical 4-tier storage and an expanded interior for bariatric cases. 110V self-contained, custom door swing, 15-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions — 2, 3, & 4 Body Coolers
Should I buy a 2, 3, or 4 body cooler?
Match the cooler to your caseload with headroom to spare. A 2-body cooler suits single-location homes under ~100 cases/year, a 3-body (the most popular) fits 100–200 cases/year, and a 4-body serves 200–400 cases/year. Always size up slightly so you're never at maximum capacity on a busy week.
What is the difference between a 2-body, 3-body, and 4-body mortuary cooler?
The number is the body storage capacity. Beyond that, each size comes in multiple configurations — upright, roll-in, vault style, and extra-wide. All AMC units are self-contained 110V with no plumbing or drainage.
Are 2, 3, & 4 body coolers self-contained?
Yes — all AMC upright body coolers plug into a standard 110V outlet, with no plumbing, drainage, dedicated circuit, or forklift required.
What temperature do body coolers run at?
34–38°F (1–3°C) — cold enough to slow decomposition without freezing tissue. All AMC units have digital thermostats with precise control.
Independent programs and ratings may change.
