What is a "mortuary"?
A mortuary is a space within a hospital or funeral home where individuals who have died are kept, prepared for burial or cremation, and temporarily stored before their final arrangements are made. It has equipment for handling the individuals respectfully and hygienically, including embalming rooms, refrigeration units, and viewing areas for families to pay their respects. Mortuaries are staffed by funeral directors and embalmers who ensure that all procedures are carried out with care and respect, following the law and cultural norms.
