Vault-style morgue cooler FAQs

How is a vault-style cooler different from a walk-in?

A walk-in is one shared cold room; a vault-style cooler gives each body its own sealed, individually-accessed bay — more dignified, more secure, and a smaller footprint.

Can I expand capacity later?

Yes — multi-vault systems are modular; many facilities start with a small bank and add bays as volume grows. Ask about scalable configurations in your RFQ.

Do you support government and grant purchasing?

Yes — we routinely work with POs, GSA/government buyers, and grant-funded institutions, and can provide W-9s and capability statements for your vendor file.
