Export
American Mortuary Coolers offers export-ready preparation support for mortuary, morgue, pathology, anatomy, funeral, forensic, medical, crematory, and custom-built facility equipment. We can help pack, document, and ship eligible products inland to a U.S. port, freight forwarder, export warehouse, or customer-designated logistics partner.
Custom Export Preparation for Professional Equipment
Whether you are purchasing mortuary coolers, walk-in morgue coolers, upright mortuary coolers, anatomy tables, pathology casework, autopsy equipment, embalming stations, stainless steel prep room products, mortuary racks, cadaver racks, lift systems, mortuary cots, first call cots, refrigeration systems, replacement parts, or custom-built designs, our team can help prepare your order for export-style movement.
We support fully custom product planning, custom fit designs, custom built equipment packages, facility-specific configurations, and project freight coordination for customers shipping to islands, international facilities, government sites, universities, funeral homes, hospitals, forensic centers, anatomy programs, and pathology labs.
Important export responsibility notice: Unless expressly agreed in writing, American Mortuary Coolers ships inland only to the selected U.S. destination, port, forwarder, or export warehouse. The customer or customer-appointed freight forwarder is responsible for export filings, customs broker services, ocean freight, air freight, destination handling, import clearance, duties, taxes, VAT, port fees, storage, demurrage, destination delivery, and any country-specific compliance requirements.
How Export Orders Usually Work

We can help with export-style packing, palletizing, crating guidance, weights, dimensions, item descriptions, and commercial invoice support where available.
We ship to the U.S. port, freight forwarder, consolidator, warehouse, or inland export location selected by the customer or forwarder.
