Specification notes for preparation room casework

Construction

Specify stainless steel casework at the wet wall, sink bases and instrument storage, and stainless or 18-gauge powder-coated steel elsewhere. All cabinets are built to order from the configurations in USPE-CW-CFG-001 Rev C, with fillers, scribes, finished back panels and service chases from USPE-CW-ACC-001 Rev C.

Finish and hardware

Call out color tier and code for body and door or drawer fronts (USPE-CW-FIN-001 Rev C) and hinge and pull codes (USPE-CW-HDW-001 Rev C). Recessed pulls are recommended beside the table and in aisles narrower than the cot path.

Clearances and workflow

Fix the embalming table, cooler door swing and cot path before locating casework. Keep return-air grilles, floor drains and the water control unit clear of cabinet runs, and separate clean storage (tall and wall cabinets) from soiled and waste storage (specialty cabinets) by location.

Code and engineering

Exhaust, ventilation rates, plumbing, electrical and accessibility are designed by the project engineer and reviewed by the authority having jurisdiction. We provide product dimensions and utility requirements; we do not provide stamped drawings or code compliance opinions.

Project types

  • Funeral home renovations replacing wood or laminate prep room cabinets with stainless or powder-coated steel.
  • New funeral homes and care centers where the prep room, dressing room and cooler are designed together.
  • Central preparation facilities serving multiple locations, with several tables and large casework runs.
  • Mortuary science programs, county and hospital morgues that need the same casework in an institutional setting; USPE also supplies the autopsy and pathology equipment for those rooms.

How the process works

  1. Send the backgroundPDF or DWG floor plan, or a dimensioned sketch, with the owner's equipment list and case volume.
  2. Receive the layout and schedulePlan and 3D layout, cabinet schedule and a budget quote for the casework and equipment package.

Complete the room with AME tables, stations and AMC coolers

Casework is only one wall. The same quote can carry the embalming table, the sink or flushing station, the cooler and the lifts, so the layout is drawn once and the freight is planned once.

Match the equipment specification to your facility

Compare the selected model’s dimensions, operating configuration and supplied components against your project. Keep procurement specifications and equipment interfaces explicit instead of assuming that related product names mean the same configuration.

  • Layout: check footprint, clearances and access.
  • Utilities: identify the connections required by the selected model.
  • Interfaces: confirm transfer heights, drainage, ventilation or mounting requirements where applicable.
  • Documentation: request the model-specific specification and applicable warranty terms.

For several products or locations, request an itemized Embalming Room Casework: Prep Room Cabinets in Stainless and Powder-Coated Steel quote with selected models, quantities and delivery ZIP codes.

U.S. Pathology Equipment

Casework quality starts with a clear specification.

Plan laboratory cabinets as a working system: storage, access, surfaces and utilities need to suit the actual room. Define the cabinet arrangement and finish before the project quote, so a similar-looking cabinet is not mistaken for the same configuration.

Materials & finish

Stainless steel is the standard planning direction. Request powder-coated steel or powder-coated stainless alternatives where applicable; verify the actual material and finish on the selected model.

Compare casework colors & finishes

Cabinet configuration

Specify width, drawer and door arrangement, handing and hardware. Stainless steel work surfaces remain a separate item in the project scope.

Review hardware & accessories

Facility integration

Coordinate access, utility locations and existing room constraints. Identify specialty storage requirements for project review rather than assuming a standard cabinet meets them.

Prepare the casework specification

Connect the cabinet plan with grossing workstations, laboratory and autopsy sinks and autopsy tables. Review the casework planner or assemble an itemized casework package.

Make the next step specific.

Send the equipment model, quantity, required options and room constraints for a quote review. No payment or checkout is required to request a USPE project quote.

Project requirements such as testing, certifications, accessibility and installation approval must be supported for the selected model and application. General catalog copy is not a substitute for that documentation.
