If you’ve been in this profession long enough, you know one truth always holds: how we care for the deceased matters just as much as what we do for the families. Behind the scenes, it’s often the equipment we rely on—day in and day out—that makes all the difference. And when it comes to handling remains with dignity while protecting your team, having the right lift isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

At Mortuary Lift Company, we’ve spent over 50 years designing solutions that help funeral homes and morgues like yours run more smoothly. Our flagship product, the Ultimate 1000 Lift, was built with one purpose in mind: to take the strain off your staff while supporting the respectful, seamless transfers your clients expect.

Lifting More Than Just Weight

We know the challenges you’re facing—tight labor, increasing caseloads, and the physical toll that comes with the job. The Ultimate 1000 Lift is designed to be operated by one person, with the capacity to lift up to 1,000 lbs. smoothly and safely. Whether it’s a transfer from cot to prep table or positioning a casket, this lift gives your team the support they need to do their jobs confidently and safely.

As American Funeral Director recently highlighted, “equipment upgrades not only increase efficiency but also elevate the level of care families perceive.” In a time when families are paying close attention to every detail, your back-of-house tools speak volumes about the respect and care your facility provides.

Every Movement Matters

You already know—there’s no room for jerky lifts, awkward angles, or hurried handling when someone’s loved one is in your care. That’s why we designed the Ultimate 1000 Lift with intuitive controls, whisper-quiet operation, and a flexible frame that adjusts to your workspace. It gives your team more control, more precision, and more peace of mind.

The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) has echoed this shift toward modernized, dignified practices, noting that even when families aren’t present, they expect professionalism and compassion every step of the way.

Built by People Who Get It

We’re not just another equipment company. We’re a woman-owned business that’s been working alongside funeral professionals since the beginning. We’ve seen how this industry has changed—and we’re committed to helping you stay ahead. Whether you’re growing your business, updating your prep room, or looking for ways to protect your team, we’re here to help you move forward.
