Begin with your average weekly case volume, then add your worst week of the year. A funeral home handling 150 to 250 calls a year usually fits a 2- or 3-body cooler. Once you regularly hold six or more, or you serve a hospital or county office, compare a 6-body unit, the 12-body triple-door cooler, and walk-in rooms that hold three or more 4-tier racks.
| Typical need | Format to compare | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 bodies, tight room | 2- or 3-body upright or roll-in | Smallest footprint, plugs into a standard circuit |
| Staff should not lift to a top tier | Roll-in or triple-wide roll-in | Bodies stay at cot height |
| Bariatric cases | Bariatric 2-, 3- or 4-body coolers | Wider tiers and openings |
| 6 to 12 bodies | 6-body dual-door, 12-body triple-door or 10x10 walk-in | Rack-based density with room to work |
| Surge or regional capacity | 10x16 to 20x40 walk-in | Modular panels, more racks as you grow |
