Lease the Morgue. Keep the Capital.

MorgueLease™ by American Mortuary Coolers puts professional cold storage in your facility without the capital outlay — walk-in morgue coolers, walk-in freezers, and 2–4 body upright units on monthly terms sized to your operation. Built, shipped, and supported from Johnson City, Tennessee by the same team that has equipped 7,500+ facilities since 2009.

Three Ways to Get Equipment Without Writing the Big Check

1. Operating lease. Fixed monthly payment, 24–60 month terms, equipment refresh options at term end. Payments are typically deductible as an operating expense — confirm treatment with your tax advisor.

2. Lease-to-own. Build toward ownership with structured buyout options; $1-buyout structures may qualify for Section 179 treatment. See our Section 179 Equipment Financing Guide.

3. Short-term rental. Surge capacity, renovations, and disaster response — covered in depth in Lease or Rent: Your Guide to Morgue Freezer Rentals.
