Mortuary Cooler Space Planning Guide
Mortuary Cooler Space Planning Guide
Getting mortuary cooler space planning right the first time reduces bottlenecks, safety risks, and expensive rework. This guide covers practical layout and clearance considerations for new rooms and retrofits.
Room Size and Clearances
- Allow space for cooler footprint, stretcher circulation, and staging areas.
- Plan door clearances for stretchers and cots, including swing and hardware.
- Account for wall protection, bumpers, and protective rails in tight spaces.
Workflow Considerations
- Separate intake and release paths when possible.
- Locate cooler doors to minimize cross-traffic through clinical areas.
- Plan for PPE stations and handwashing near entry points.
