About us
Covercool™ Systems
Flexmort manufactures innovative mortuary systems for the
cooling and storage of the deceased. Our systems are used by
numerous hospitals, funeral directors and hospices and some
Flexmort systems are available to UK public authorities via an
NHS contract.
UK hospital NHS guidance* for all organisations responsible for
care after death states that the deceased should start to be cooled
as soon as possible and certainly within 4 hours of death to
‘preserve their appearance, condition and dignity.’
Flexmort’s products have revolutionised the concept of body
storage allowing bodies to be cooled without the need for heavy
traditional fixed mortuary refrigerators.
We have a range of air cooled body storage systems – the
AirCool 12 and ColdSpace, as well as direct contact cold pad
systems – CoverCool™ and the CuddleCot.
Check our website for further information on our other cooling
and storage systems including the below:
Flexmort’s CoverCool™ systems cool and store bodies anywhere without
the need for cold rooms, air conditioners or mortuary fridges. The flexible
alternative to traditional fixed refrigerators, CoverCool™ consists of a
small cooling unit which circulates fluid through a cooling pad placed in
contact with the body. It requires no installation and is fully portable.
Flexible – Keeps a body cool on any surface e.g. in a coffin or on a bed or trolley.
Effective – The pad is placed on or under the body and actively cools the body.
Economical – Running costs are less than traditional refrigeration as the system
directly cools the body and is only switched on when required.
Portable – Can be set up in seconds and used anywhere e.g. a small back room in
a funeral home, a hospice bedroom and even the home environment.
Proven – CoverCool™ is used in hospitals, hospices and funeral directors.
Injury Prevention – CoverCool™ is recognised by the UK National Back
ColdSpace

Exchange to reduce manual handling and injury related risks, reducing the need to
move bodies to the cooling area as the cooling unit can be taken to the body.
Family Benefits – As highlighted by NHS guidance*, CoverCool™ allows a more
bearable experience for families in allowing them to spend time with their loved one
without having to cool the whole room.

Testimonials
“I think what you have done in developing this
unit is a wonderful thing and as painful as this
is, it does give parents like me some quality
time with their loved one, it certainly did for
me.”
C. Hinkley
“Flexmort products, especially the Aircool and
the CoverCool™ system, have made such a
positive difference to the services we provide.”
Lyn Anderson, Watford General Hospital
“Our CoverCool™ system is in constant use
and we are absolutely delighted with it...The

pleased with the results”
UK Funeral Director
“We wouldn’t have any hesitation in
recommending the Flexmort system to any other
funeral directors.”
UK Funeral Director
“Easily stored and easy to use, I would
recommend this unit to any funeral director.”
UK Funeral Director
“The flexibility of the CoverCool™ system has
allowed us to keep the deceased cool on-site,
without requiring transfer to branches with
refrigeration. This flexibility has been of great
benefit to our operations.”
UK Funeral Director
“We are proud to be one of the first hospitals
in the country to have this amazing piece of
equipment.”
Matron, Queen’s Hospital, as reported in
The Burton Mail Oct 2011
“The Flexmort CuddleCot was quite simply
fantastic and exceeded all our expectations.
It preserved the body so well that the family
were able to keep their daughter at home for
the whole seven days before the funeral. By
directly cooling the infant, the system allowed
the family to grieve in a room at ambient
temperature whereas an air con unit would
have made the whole room cold. I am so
pleased we were able to provide this level of
care at the most difficult time for any family.
I would have no hesitation in recommending
Flexmort; we are now in the process of looking
at some of their other cooling systems to enable
us to offer this level of care to other families
with larger children. I can see benefits for
Flexmort’s cooling systems for Hospice Care at
home for all families.”
Tracie Dempster, Head of Care at chYps
(UK Children’s hospice) Dec 2011
“We had a family whose 15 day old baby
died over the Christmas period – clearly a
very upsetting time for the whole family. We
used the Flexmort CuddleCot to keep the baby
cool and have been very impressed with the
ease of use and the results. We were able to
keep the baby at the hospice for an incredible
12 days, the family were very grateful that
there was no need to transfer to the Funeral
Directors at all. There is no doubt that the use
of the system helped the parents cope with the
bereavement.”
Christine Forster, Naomi House (UK
Children’s hospice)
