What is a mortuary stretcher?

A mortuary stretcher is a specialized transport device designed for the safe and respectful movement of deceased individuals. Unlike standard hospital gurneys, mortuary stretchers feature reinforced frames, weight-rated construction for heavier caseloads, removable covers for discretion, and designs optimized for one-person operation during first call removals. American Mortuary Coolers mortuary stretchers start at $995.99.

What is the difference between a mortuary stretcher and a first call cot?

A mortuary stretcher and a first call cot describe the same category of equipment. First call cot is the preferred term in funeral home operations referring to the cot used during the first call removal. Mortuary stretcher is used more broadly in hospital morgue and coroner contexts. Both refer to wheeled transport equipment designed for cadaver handling.

What weight capacity do mortuary stretchers come in?

American Mortuary Coolers mortuary stretchers are available in 350 lb (easy-fold entry model), 550 lb (AME Pro 500E), 600 lb (AME Pro 650), and 1,000 lb bariatric (AME Pro 1000-1KP) configurations. All models are in stock and ship fast from Johnson City, Tennessee.

Can mortuary stretchers be used with roll-in mortuary coolers?

Yes. Roll-in mortuary coolers are specifically designed to receive a mortuary cot or stretcher directly at floor level — the cot wheels directly into the cooler unit without body transfer. American Mortuary Coolers stretchers are dimensionally compatible with our roll-in cooler lineup. Call 1-888-792-9315 to confirm stretcher-to-cooler compatibility before ordering.

Are mortuary stretchers available with Shop Pay?

Yes. All in-stock mortuary stretchers and first call cots from American Mortuary Coolers are eligible for Shop Pay installments — pay in 4 interest-free installments at 0% APR on eligible orders. Sign in at shop.app/pay or select Shop Pay at checkout.
