Upright morgue coolers: what to know before you buy
A morgue cooler, also called a mortuary cooler, cadaver cooler or body refrigerator, is refrigerated storage that holds remains just above freezing to slow decomposition until embalming, viewing, autopsy, cremation or burial. Funeral homes, hospitals, medical examiners, coroners and anatomy programs use them. American Mortuary Coolers units are set up for 34–40°F body holding. For long-term storage, see our morgue freezers.
Is an upright morgue cooler right for my facility?
An upright cooler fits when you hold 2 to 4 bodies and floor space is tight. Remains rest on tiers behind front doors, and a lift or tray system makes loading the upper tiers safer.
What types of morgue coolers are there?
Upright coolers store 2 to 4 bodies on tiers behind front doors and fit inside a prep room. Roll-in coolers accept a cot directly and come in 2-body and 3-body widths. Walk-in coolers are modular insulated rooms, from 6′ × 8′ up to 24′ × 24′, for higher caseloads. Morgue freezers cover long-term storage.
What temperature should a morgue cooler be?
Refrigerated body holding runs at 34–40°F, which is the operating range listed on our coolers. Holding longer than days to weeks calls for a morgue freezer, which keeps remains at sub-zero temperatures. Read the temperature guide.
What power does a mortuary cooler need?
Our 2-body standard roll-in cooler runs on 115V single-phase power with a NEMA 5-20R plug. Upright vault-style units and most larger systems need 208–230V. Each product page lists its electrical requirements, so confirm them with your electrician before ordering.
How are mortuary coolers delivered and installed?
Coolers ship by LTL freight. Walk-in systems arrive palletized, so a forklift or fork-equipped equipment is needed at delivery, and some upright units ship unassembled. Lead time, freight and installation details are listed on each product page.
Can we finance or use a purchase order?
Yes. 0% financing offers are through Shop Pay with approved credit, and we accept purchase orders from municipal, county, state, university and hospital buyers.

Compare cold storage around the space and loading plan
Start with the equipment you need to move into storage, the usable room dimensions and the available access route. An upright refrigerator, a roll-in cooler and a walk-in system are different configurations; compare their actual listings before choosing.
- Capacity and access: confirm the listed storage arrangement and loading direction.
- Fit: compare exterior and usable dimensions, door clearance and the delivery route.
- Configuration: identify refrigeration, floor, rack and tray selections separately.
- Project scope: confirm utilities, delivery requirements and the applicable written warranty.
Plan a phased mortuary-cooler replacement
Start with an inventory of the equipment in service, its dimensions and the workflow that must stay available during replacement. Identify the units needed first, the interfaces that must remain compatible and the later phases you want to budget. Separate a planning quantity from an approved purchase.
- For each phase, identify the model or specification, quantity, delivery location and intended purchasing period.
- Record dependencies such as door clearances, loading direction, transfer height, tray size, floor conditions and utilities where relevant.
- Request separate line items for equipment and selected accessories so the order can be reviewed by location and fiscal period.
- Review quote validity, current availability and delivery requirements before approving each phase; a planning quote is not a promise of a fixed future price.
Request a phased equipment or multi-location quote with the first purchase and later requirements clearly identified. Use the same approach for an independent facility, a public department or a corporate equipment-replacement program.
For several products or locations, request an itemized Upright Mortuary Coolers quote with selected models, quantities and delivery ZIP codes. Use general customer support for selection questions, and review the written warranty terms before ordering.
Plan year-end equipment purchases around the actual equipment and timing
Review current catalog prices, choose the required configuration and separate the first purchase from later replacement phases. Build an itemized priced quote, or request a formal equipment quote with quantities, locations and your purchasing period. Request written price validity rather than assuming an unannounced future price increase or an additional sale discount.
Can Section 179 affect an equipment purchase?
For tax years beginning in 2026, IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32 sets a maximum Section 179 expense deduction of $2,560,000, reduced when qualifying property placed in service exceeds $4,090,000. These are statutory limits, not a promise that this purchase or every buyer qualifies.
The IRS explains that property is generally placed in service when ready and available for its specific use. Eligibility, business use, taxable income and other requirements matter; ordering, financing or paying before year-end does not by itself establish a deduction. Confirm treatment and timing with your tax professional before relying on a tax benefit.
Use our 2026 Section 179 planning guide and illustrative calculator alongside the selected model's requirements. Confirm freight, installation responsibilities and availability separately; a year-end planning request is not a delivery guarantee.
