Run a funeral home long enough and you learn: the supply that fails you is the one nobody re-ordered. This funeral home supply checklist walks the building room by room — the same audit our team has helped firms run as a premier funeral supply company since 2009 — so nothing critical is missing when a family needs you.
First Call & Removal
The call that starts everything: mortuary cots, body bags & pouches in every size you serve, quilted cot covers (two per vehicle minimum), transfer boards, vehicle deck systems, and gloves in the van door. Save 10% today with code FIRSTCALL10.
Prep Room & Cold Storage
Audit the embalming and prep room quarterly: instruments, PPE, tables, and drainage. Cold storage means capacity plus proof: a mortuary cooler sized for your worst month, storage racks, and 24/7 temperature monitoring.
Cremation, Chapel & Front of House
Crematory operators: run our dedicated cremation supplies checklist. Chapel side: chapel furnishings, lamps, church trucks, and a full register book and stationery suite per service style — code REGISTER5 saves 5% today.
