Morgue Facilities

The morgue is based at the CWM & Labasa Hospitals.

We provide the cleanest morgue facility with Suva having 66 berths and Labasa 28 berth with back up freezers with 150 berths.

What we wanted to achieve is a state of the art morgue and autopsy room, clean and tidy, and deceased given the final journey with respect and dignity. This we have achieved and acknowledged by Government of Fiji and Ministry of Health.

With the morgue service we also provide a one stop shop for families where they can order wreaths, purchase caskets or coffins of different range, order pooja items, purchase clothes, mats and tapas.

Morgue service is 24 hours and we have provide pick up if deceased dies at home and families do not need to arrange transport to bring the deceased to the morgue.

We have clean dressing room which is hygienically cleaned at all times with checks by Ecolab (USA) based company so we meet the highest standard.

Our staff are well trained and we also provide dressing of deceased hence families in grieve need not worry. We also have a chapel for viewing and immediate families can book a time for private viewing prior to the funeral.

Records Register

The old practice was that all deaths are recorded in a register however we now have all data stored in the system and the same data can be viewed anytime by the Ministry hence every week the Ministry is aware of how many bodies are/were kept in the morgue and date of release.

Expansion

After managing the CWM, Lautoka and Labasa Morgue our intention is to move to other hospitals around Fiji and upgrade facility and have similar provisions and services subject to Ministry’s approval once they are satisfied that our Company can manage morgue operations.

We like to have new morgues installed with availability of space in other hospitals and also have a morgue for mass causality in the event of any disaster as this service is not available in other parts of Fiji apart from CWM and Labasa Hospital currently.

We also need to have back up generator and morgue freezer for mass casualty as there is none in western division hence expansion estimated at over 1 million dollars.

Electricians and Engineers

We have 24 hours backup service from Blue Star Services on all our freezers at CWM, & Labasa Hospital.

Monthly maintenance is done to all freezers.
