While COVID caught the world off-guard, the funeral industry felt it with extra force. Cooling, in particular, saw an unprecedented increase in volume. “We knew it was time to act when we saw the situation during the pandemic and the need for future preparedness,” stated Katie Hill, Mortuary Lift Company (MLC) president. “We were getting requests but needed to make sure our quality and durability standards were being met before we would introduce coolers into the marketplace.”

After much research and design consideration, MLC now offers mortuary coolers that feature the unique ability to incorporate the company’s Ultimate 1000 Lift. The company can install the lift inside the cooler through its custom designs for the lift installation.

In addition, MLC offers a smaller, single-body cooler. Explained Hill: “We now offer portable cooler pods on wheels. They fit one body and are movable. The pods plug into a 110V outlet, and several can be stacked on each other as your facility grows.” With an entry price around $2,500, the cooler pods provide an inexpensive, easy solution if your state requires a cooler to meet code.

Three QuickChill Coolers are sized for immediate delivery to keep up with demand, but MLC offers both standard and custom models. Every cooler features the same quality and customer service that the funeral industry has come to expect from MLC.

Added Hill: “We take pride that our standard and custom coolers are made in the USA. This reaffirms our long-term commitment to supporting not only our industry but our national economy. It also helps to know we can really stand behind the quality.” mortuarylift.com
