Mortuary Cold Room

At Mortuary Cold Room, we design, manufacture, install, and maintain bespoke mortuary cold rooms for hospitals, NHS trusts, funeral directors, coroners’ facilities, pathology departments, universities, local authorities, and forensic institutions throughout the UK. Mortuary Cold Room provides reliable temperature-controlled body storage solutions that preserve the dignity of the deceased while supporting healthcare professionals with dependable, hygienic, and energy-efficient refrigeration systems.

A mortuary cold room is designed to provide controlled refrigerated storage for multiple bodies within a secure environment. Unlike smaller mortuary refrigerators, walk-in cold rooms offer greater storage capacity, flexible body handling, and the ability to accommodate increasing operational demand. These facilities play a vital role in hospitals, public mortuaries, disaster response planning, and funeral care by maintaining stable temperatures that slow natural decomposition and preserve appropriate conditions for identification, post-mortem examinations, and respectful care.

Whether you require a compact walk-in mortuary, a high-capacity hospital cold room, or a bespoke multi-body refrigeration facility, Mortuary Cold Room delivers complete turnkey solutions from design through to installation, commissioning, servicing, and ongoing maintenance.

Why Choose Mortuary Cold Room?

At Mortuary Cold Room, we understand that mortuary refrigeration must perform continuously without compromise. A cold room is a critical healthcare asset, and every system we install is engineered to provide dependable temperature control, operational resilience, and efficient energy performance throughout its service life.

Every cold room is designed around the client’s operational workflow, considering body capacity, transfer procedures, trolley access, storage configuration, hygiene requirements, and future expansion. We manufacture our systems using high-performance insulated panels, commercial refrigeration equipment, stainless steel internal finishes where specified, and intelligent electronic controls that provide accurate temperature management and continuous monitoring.

Our installations are completed with consideration for the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations (F-Gas Regulations), the Building Regulations 2010, and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM Regulations) where applicable. Refrigeration systems are installed and maintained by appropriately qualified engineers to ensure compliance with current environmental and refrigeration legislation.

Every project begins with a detailed consultation and site survey, enabling Mortuary Cold Room to assess available space, storage requirements, access arrangements, structural considerations, electrical infrastructure, and operational procedures before producing a bespoke cold room design.

How much does a Mortuary Cold Room Cost?

The cost of a mortuary cold room ranges from £20,000 to over £100,000.

The cost of a mortuary cold room installation depends on the storage capacity, refrigeration specification, body rack configuration, monitoring systems, and building requirements.

Small walk-in mortuary cold rooms designed to accommodate 4 to 8 bodies generally cost between £20,000 and £45,000.

Medium-sized mortuary facilities with 8 to 20 body spaces typically range from £45,000 to £60,000, depending on refrigeration equipment, internal layout, and access systems.

Large hospital mortuary cold rooms, public mortuaries, and bespoke high-capacity refrigeration facilities can exceed £100,000, particularly where multiple refrigeration zones, bariatric storage, remote monitoring, backup refrigeration systems, or structural building works are required.

At Mortuary Cold Room, we provide comprehensive site surveys and detailed quotations to ensure every installation is designed specifically around your operational requirements and available budget.

What is the Mortuary Cold Room Installation Process?

Every project begins with a detailed consultation where Mortuary Cold Room assesses your storage requirements, building layout, workflow, access routes, electrical services, refrigeration needs, and future operational plans.

Our design team then produces a bespoke cold room layout incorporating insulated panels, refrigeration equipment, body storage systems, lighting, doors, temperature monitoring equipment, and any specialist handling equipment required.

Following manufacture, experienced refrigeration engineers install the insulated structure, refrigeration plant, evaporators, electrical controls, alarm systems, and body storage equipment before commissioning the complete installation.

Extensive testing is carried out to verify refrigeration performance, temperature stability, alarm functionality, and overall system reliability. Prior to handover, staff receive operational guidance together with recommendations for routine maintenance and ongoing servicing.
