The dedication of DuPage County’s first full-service morgue was held on October 29, 1994. The two-story building is located within the DuPage County complex. The first floor contains the full-service morgue and a drive-through garage. The second floor contains the office of the Coroner and staff. Inquests are conducted on selected days on the second floor. The morgue was designed with three specific goals in mind. First is to serve the needs of the residents of DuPage County, second is to meet the needs of the future, and the third and most important is to accomplish all of this in the most cost-effective means possible.

Contained in the morgue is an isolation autopsy suite that is self-contained with its own x-ray equipment and a separate access to the freezer unit. Separated by a steel door is the forensic autopsy suite and clinical autopsy suite with direct access into the refrigeration unit. A special viewing room is located next to the forensic autopsy area so that autopsies can be viewed by police, investigators, states attorneys, and medical personnel involved in the case. The drive through sally port (garage) was designed so that total privacy is given during the pick up or delivery of bodies.
