A body is usually kept in a morgue for between 4 and 7 days. However, it is not uncommon for a body to be stored in a morgue for several months. This especially true if the next kin is trying to be reached.

How do funeral directors keep the body cool at the funeral?

The body is kept cold in the morgue at the hospital or at the funeral home before the embalming because your body starts to deteriorate upon death and the cold retards that deterioration. Once the embalming takes place the body doesnt need to be kept as cold because the purpose for embalming is to slow that deterioration.
