What is a morgue refrigerator?
A morgue refrigerator, or morgue cooler, holds bodies at about 34 to 40 F to slow decomposition before autopsy, identification or release. Types include upright and multi-body coolers, vault coolers with an individual door per body, roll-in coolers and walk-in coolers with racks.
Key features
- 2 vertically stacked bays
- Right or left hinge
- Stainless slide-out trays
- 304 stainless interior
- Body holding range 34 to 40 F
Standard design features
- Self-contained condensing unit. The compressor, condenser and evaporator come as one factory-packaged unit mounted on the cabinet, so no refrigeration lines are run on site.
- Digital thermometer and temperature controller. A digital display shows the box temperature at a glance, and the controller holds the setpoint you choose for body holding.
Door seal and refrigeration
- Magnetic gasketed door seal. Each chamber door closes against a magnetic gasket that seals the whole door edge, which keeps cold air in and holds 34–40°F after the door is opened.
- Energy-compliant refrigeration. The self-contained refrigeration system uses A2L refrigerant and meets current DOE/EPA efficiency rules.

For individual compartments, allow space for the open door and the tray or rail extension. Body count alone does not establish fit or transfer compatibility.
- Provide the required body positions, preferred loading direction and selected tray width.
- Confirm the overall footprint, refrigeration service access, electrical supply and delivery route against this model's approved drawing.
- Identify which trays, racks, carrier, lift or body boards are required. Only the items listed in the accepted quote are included.
- Describe customization requests for review; new construction or load-capacity claims require documented specifications.
