In morgue, cold storage is important to preserve human remains and slow down the natural decomposition process. Cold rooms keep the body at controlled temperature to prevent rapid bacterial growth, usually 2–4 ° C (35.6–39.2 ° F). It is important for short -term protection during viewing, identifying or applying paste. For prolonged storage, the temperature can fall to a long time to keep the body safe for a long time.
Proper cold storage also ensures hygiene conditions, which can prevent diseases from spreading, especially when the deceased died of an infectious disease. Overall, cold storage in the morgue helps maintain respect and security while gives the families time for the necessary funeral.
