Mortuary rooms play a crucial role in funeral homes and
other facilities that require the preservation and storage of human remains.
These specialized rooms are designed with the utmost attention to hygiene,
durability, and specific customer needs.
Customization:
Mortuary rooms are tailored according to the dimensions and
requirements of the application area. This customization ensures that each room
meets the unique needs of different funeral homes or facilities.
Expertise in Construction:
The construction and installation of these rooms are carried
out by experienced teams, emphasizing the highest level of hygiene and quality.
Wall and Ceiling Panels:
The core of these rooms' durability lies in their wall and
ceiling panels. These are constructed by injecting high-density polyurethane
(42 kg/m3) between two polyester-coated galvanized steel sheets, each 0.50 mm
thick.
The interlocking panels and male-female joining details
significantly enhance durability.
Hygiene and Surface Options:
Surfaces can be made of stainless steel, which is preferable
for hygiene and easy disinfection. This choice is particularly important in
maintaining the cleanliness required in mortuary settings.
Flooring Varieties:
Depending
on specific needs, floor options include stainless steel (AISI 304), plywood,
or epoxy painted surfaces. Each option offers different benefits, such as
durability, ease of cleaning, and suitability for different environments.
Preservation and Respect:
Mortuary rooms are essential for the respectful preservation
of remains, ensuring that they are maintained in a dignified state until funeral services
or other final arrangements.
Custom Solutions for Diverse Needs:
Understanding that each facility has different requirements,
these rooms are designed with versatility in mind, accommodating a range of
preferences and specifications.
Inside a mortuary, you'll find an environment equipped for
the respectful and sanitary handling of deceased individuals. Key elements
include refrigeration units to store bodies, embalming stations where bodies
can be prepared for burial or cremation, including embalming fluid, tools for
restorative arts, and sometimes spaces for families to hold private viewings.
The area is designed to facilitate the preservation, preparation, and presentation
of the deceased, often including storage for coffins and urns.
The primary distinction lies in their functions and
association. Morgues are often part of medical or forensic facilities, focusing
on the temporary storage of bodies for identification, autopsy, or
investigation. Mortuaries, conversely, are associated with funeral homes,
concentrating on preparing bodies for funeral services, including embalming,
dressing, and cosmetic work.
The duration a body stays in a mortuary can vary widely,
depending on several factors such as pending funeral arrangements, cultural
practices, and legal requirements. It might range from a few days to several
weeks. The goal is to accommodate the timing needs for family gatherings,
religious rites, or completion of any necessary documentation.
In a mortuary, a body undergoes various processes to prepare
it for burial or cremation, based on family preferences or legal requirements.
This can include washing, embalming (a chemical preservation process),
dressing, and applying makeup to enhance the deceased's appearance for viewing.
The staff also manages paperwork and coordinates with families to ensure the
deceased's final wishes are honored.
Morgues are kept at low temperatures, usually around 2°C to 4°C (35.6°F to 39.2°F), to slow down the decomposition process. This chilling environment helps preserve bodies until autopsy procedures are conducted or until they can be transferred to a funeral home for further preparation and the eventual funeral service.
