Mortuary Fridges and Refrigerated Cabinets

Reliable Cold Storage for the Dignified Care of the Deceased

Mortuary fridges and refrigerated cabinets create a controlled environment for storing the deceased while awaiting identification, funeral arrangements or postmortem examination. Cold storage can last from several hours to several days and, in some cases, a few weeks. Maintaining a constant refrigerated environment is essential for slowing decomposition and preserving dignity.

Portable Mortuary Storage Solutions with AirCool

Alongside traditional mortuary refrigeration, Flexmort offers the AirCool, a portable and lightweight pop up mortuary storage system. AirCool sets up quickly, provides reliable refrigerated capacity in any location and is available for purchase or rental, giving organisations the flexibility they need during periods of increased demand.

Types of Mortuary Fridges

Positive Temperature Fridges

Positive temperature mortuary chambers typically operate between 2°C and 4°C. These units are widely used in hospitals, hospices and funeral facilities. While they do not stop decomposition, they slow the process significantly compared with room temperature, allowing bodies to remain identifiable for longer periods.

Negative Temperature Fridges

Negative temperature chambers operate between minus 10°C and minus 50°C and are commonly used in forensic institutes. These temperatures allow the body to reach a frozen state, greatly reducing the rate of decomposition and enabling extended preservation when required for investigations.

Refrigerated Mortuary Cabinets

Refrigerated mortuary cabinets offer a compact, modular solution for facilities that need efficient, reliable and space-saving cold storage. These cabinets are used across hospitals, mortuaries and emergency settings to maintain strictly controlled cooling conditions.

Key Benefits of Mortuary Fridges and Refrigerated Cabinets

Extended Preservation Time

When bodies are unidentifiable or require longer-term storage, mortuary refrigerators provide the controlled environment needed to maintain appearance and identity for extended periods.

Accurate Temperature Control

Modern mortuary fridges include numerical temperature displays that allow precise control of internal conditions. Advanced insulation and refrigeration technology help keep the internal temperature stable, improving consistency and reducing environmental impact.

Efficient Use of Space

Mono structure designs maximise internal storage capacity while minimising floor space. Mortuary fridges are engineered to be compact, efficient and suitable for facilities with limited room.

Long-Lasting and Hygienic Construction

Mortuary refrigerators are built from stainless steel for durability, hygiene and ease of cleaning. Polyurethane insulation increases energy efficiency and structural longevity. Chromium handles and modular construction further enhance durability and scalability.
