Benefits of Mortuary Rooms

Hospital mortuary cold rooms offer many benefits:

We work hard to deliver mortuary refrigeration solutions that are both convenient and effective. Each of our mortuary cold room designs is installed to the customers’ needs, offering as many benefits as possible within the space constraints of the premises it needs to fit into.

Storing the deceased properly is important, and we do our best to deliver cold room options that suit the expected standards of corpse storage while also being practical.

Types of Mortuary Chambers

Mortuary solutions can feature a variety of cabinet types, which all suit different storage requirements and purposes in hospitals or other businesses/sites. These include:

Positive Temperature Mortuary Refrigerator

A positive temperature mortuary refrigeration system keeps dead bodies between 2°C and 4°C, preserving bodies without preventing decomposition.

This is useful for situations where the deceased are moved soon after arriving since these units are more efficient if the bodies are not being kept long-term.

Types of Mortuary Chambers

Negative Temperature Mortuary Refrigerator

A negative temperature mortuary refrigeration system keeps bodies at between -10°C and -50°C, meaning the bodies decompose significantly slower.

This is important for long-term storage, such as when a corpse identification is not finalised, and this may take weeks, as the corpse stays a higher quality for longer.

What is a Mortuary Cold Room?

A mortuary cold room is a refrigerated room used to store corpses. These are often seen in hospitals, funeral homes, or anywhere else where bodies are expected to be retrieved or stored.

These cold rooms often use shelf or cabinet systems with an individual door/tray for each corpse, with the room itself also having a sealable door.

This allows the room to stay refrigerated long-term, preserving the quality of the cadavers and preventing fast decay.

Mortuary Fridges for Funeral Directors

Funeral directors can benefit from the same units that hospitals do, although often on a smaller scale.

We can install a way for funeral directors to store the corpse before funeral preparation – for example, if a body is recovered in November, but the funeral is arranged for January.

Hospital Morgue Cold Rooms

We can install a range of hospital morgue systems, aiming for high levels of quality and reliability to ensure that each corpse is preserved as needed.

We can discuss our work with clients and walk them through the installation steps needed to get a larger-scale space completed.

Cooling and Body Storage

Our systems focus on effective refrigeration, providing customers with reliable cooling to make storing corpses easier.

We can walk clients through the specifics of these storage systems and the meaning behind each design choice we will have to make regarding the refrigeration systems.
