I've worked as a Funeral Director for 15 years. This style of mortuary refrigeration is a real pain to transfer a body from. The low door is fine, the next two are hard to lift from when placing the body on a stretcher. I pity the backs that lifted the body up on to the top compartment tray. Sometimes a lifting device was used to lift the tray up to the compartment so the tray could be slid in, but more often than not is was a back breaking lift. I don't miss these at all. They didn't keep the bodies very cold either. The seals around the doors were ineffective and the only insulation inside the walls was sawdust.

"Why must every abandoned place have that lone chair just sitting about?"

That's the rule, I believe.

These are also used in homes & nursing homes ( etc ) though they have been updated very slightly over the years . Respectfully... I've yet to hear of one doubling as a wheelchair.

They're not for wheeling a patient off in... they're for wheeling TO a patient who has a hard time getting around.
