Morgues are a place where human bodies are kept for safety and preservation until burial or cremation, but circumstances like hard-to-reach families or post-mortem investigations can slow end-of-life arrangements. Blood and other bodily fluids from the deceased can transmit disease, which is why leak-proof morgue storage is vital.

Confident Body Storage
When a patient succumbs to their ailments, mortuary professionals must safeguard the body to avoid post-mortem infectious agent transmission, ensure examiner access as investigations unfold and make transportation to other facilities safe. Morgue assistants can come in contact with blood or other body fluids from human remains when using faulty body bags, which can tear, rip or otherwise contaminate specimens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your cadaver bags compliant with OSHA standards?
Yes. Classic Plastics manufactures body bags using fluid-impermeable materials and high-integrity sealed seams. This ensures full compliance with OSHA containment protocols to protect medical examiners, transport teams, and morgue technicians.
Do you offer custom sizes or custom branding for bulk orders?
We provide custom sizing, tailored thickness gauges, varying handle configurations, and private-label printing for municipalities, hospital networks, coroner offices, and mass-casualty response teams.
What is the shelf life and proper storage condition for your mortuary plastic products?
When stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct UV exposure and extreme temperature fluctuations, our high-quality PVC, PEVA, and polyolefin products maintain their full material integrity and tensile strength indefinitely. We recommend keeping them in their original packaging until deployment to prevent dust accumulation.
Do your cremation-safe polyolefin bags leave any residue or cause damage to crematory retorts?
No. Our specially formulated chlorine-free polyolefin bags are engineered to incinerate completely during the cremation process. Because they do not contain heavy metals or vinyl compounds, they melt down cleanly without leaving a corrosive residue on the refractory floors or damaging the crematory stack.
Can your body bags and mortuary garments withstand long-term frozen or refrigerated storage?
Yes. Our premium plastic formulations are engineered with cold-crack resistance to ensure they remain flexible and puncture-resistant even in long-term cold storage or freezing temperatures. They will not become brittle, crack, or lose their seal integrity under standard mortuary refrigeration conditions.
