Frequently asked questions

What size morgue cooler does a hospital need?

It depends on census and morgue turnover. Rural hospitals often use 2–4 body uprights; larger systems use walk-in or vault coolers sized for peak load plus overflow.

Can capacity be added later?

Walk-in and vault systems can be re-racked or expanded. Many facilities add a freezer for overflow and long-term holds.
