Mortuary Cooler Size & Capacity Calculator
Mortuary Cooler Size & Capacity Calculator
This mortuary cooler calculator helps funeral homes, hospitals, and medical examiner offices estimate the number of bodies they can safely store, along with approximate floor space and door clearances. Use the guidelines below as a planning tool, then contact American Mortuary for project-specific drawings and pricing.
How to Use the Mortuary Cooler Calculator
- Estimate your average monthly case volume and peak surge needs.
- Decide how many days of storage capacity you want to maintain during an event.
- Account for aisle space, door swing, and stretcher turning radius.
- Use these assumptions to size your walk-in cooler and rack system, then request a layout from our team.
Typical Capacity Scenarios
- Small funeral home: 3–6 bodies, reach-in or small walk-in with single door and compact rack system.
- County medical examiner: 8–24 bodies, walk-in cooler with multi-level racking and stretcher-friendly aisle.
