Running a morgue or funeral home comes with a unique set of challenges — from limited space to ensuring staff stay safe while handling heavy, awkward loads. On top of that, you need to maintain a respectful and professional environment for the families you serve.
At Mortuary Lift Company, we know how tough this job can be. That’s why we offer Heavy-Duty Cantilevered Body Racks — designed to make your work easier, safer, and more efficient.
So, what makes these body racks so great? Let’s break it down:
1. Save Space Without Sacrificing Accessibility
If there’s one thing we hear all the time, it’s how tight space can be in morgues and funeral homes. Traditional racks often take up more room than they should, making it harder to move around.
Our cantilevered racks help you maximize vertical space so you can store more bodies without crowding your workspace. And because of their open design, you can still easily access each body — no need to move things around to get where you need to go.
As American Funeral Director pointed out in their article on “Trends in Funeral Home Design” (2023), making the most of available space is a top priority for many facilities today — and these racks deliver on that front.
2. Keep Your Staff Safe and Comfortable
Moving bodies is physically demanding — and without the right equipment, it’s easy for staff to get hurt. Our cantilevered racks are built to make access simple and reduce heavy lifting and awkward reaching, so your team can do their job safely and comfortably.
According to OSHA’s “Guidelines for Safe Patient Handling and Mobility”, using the right tools to avoid unnecessary strain is essential in preventing injuries — and that’s exactly what our racks are made for.
3. Built to Last
Let’s be honest — body racks take a beating. That’s why ours are heavy-duty and built from high-quality materials, designed to handle daily use without falling apart.
Plus, as The Director Magazine highlighted in “Innovative Equipment for Modern Mortuaries” (2022), funeral home equipment should be durable, easy to clean, and professional-looking — all things our racks offer. They’re also low-maintenance, so you don’t have to worry about constant repairs or replacements.
4. Make Your Workflow Smoother
Nobody wants to wrestle with equipment when things get busy. Our racks are designed to help staff work more efficiently, giving them easy access without unnecessary steps or obstacles.
The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) has emphasized how better workflows can improve both staff morale and customer service (“Facility Management and Efficiency Trends,” 2023). Our racks are a simple way to make that happen — streamlining daily operations so everything runs smoothly.
5. Keep It Professional and Respectful
Finally, appearance matters. Even in back-of-house operations, you want a space that’s organized, respectful, and professional. Our racks help maintain that standard, giving your facility a polished and dignified look — because families notice these things, and so do your staff.
