Types of Mortuary Body Trays Available

- Standard mortuary body trays – suitable for general body storage, transfer and use with compatible mortuary racking or chambers.
- Stainless steel body trays – durable, hygienic and easy to clean for professional mortuary and funeral home environments.
- Body trays with drainage holes – designed to support fluid drainage during preparation, washing or storage procedures where required.
- Body trays without drainage holes – suitable where a sealed tray surface is preferred for storage or transfer.
- Bariatric body trays – designed for larger body storage and handling requirements.
- Body trays for mortuary racking – compatible options for use with front-loading or side-loading racking systems.
- Body trays for refrigerated chambers – suitable for use inside mortuary chambers, cold rooms and refrigerated body stores.
If you are unsure which mortuary body tray is suitable for your existing chamber, racking system or trolley, GM Mortuary can advise on compatibility, dimensions and intended use before you order.
Stainless Steel Mortuary Body Trays
Stainless steel mortuary body trays are widely used in professional body storage and preparation environments because they are strong, hygienic and easy to clean. Stainless steel construction is suitable for funeral homes, hospitals, mortuaries, mosques and care facilities where equipment must withstand regular use and cleaning procedures.
Mortuary body trays may be used for storage, transfer, preparation or washing depending on the tray design and the facility requirements. When choosing a stainless steel body tray, it is important to consider the tray size, thickness, drainage requirements, weight capacity and compatibility with any existing mortuary racking, chamber or trolley system.
Body Trays With or Without Drainage Holes
Mortuary body trays may be supplied with or without drainage holes depending on how they will be used. A body tray with a drainage hole can be useful in preparation, washing or mortuary room environments where fluid drainage is required. This type of tray may be used with suitable drainage equipment, preparation tables or washing facilities.
A body tray without a drainage hole may be more suitable for general storage, transfer or refrigerated chamber use where a sealed tray surface is preferred. The best option will depend on your working process, hygiene requirements, storage system and how the tray will be used day to day.
Standard and Bariatric Body Trays
The correct mortuary body tray size depends on your storage system, body handling requirements and available space. Standard body trays are suitable for many funeral homes, mortuaries and hospital environments, while bariatric body trays may be required where larger dimensions or increased load capacity are needed.
When choosing between standard and bariatric body trays, it is important to check the internal dimensions of your mortuary chamber or racking system, trolley compatibility, door clearance and safe working load requirements. GM Mortuary can advise on suitable tray options based on your existing equipment and intended use.
