The purpose of this study is to examine the contamination, by pathogens, of equipment and tools that come in contact with deceased bodies at funeral homes. The pathogen test was conducted on the body refrigerator, the body pedestal, the body treatment table, the body processing tools, and the sanitary clothing. The following findings were obtained: A total of 69 species of bacteria from 29 genera along with 16 species of fungi from 10 genera were detected. There was a variation in the detection frequency of bacteria in the same tested area depending on the funeral home. However there was no difference in the detection frequency of bacteria between the different tested areas. Additionally the detection frequency of fungi was slightly different depending on the tested area and target sample. Among the five sample sites, the largest source of pathogens discovered was the body treatment table followed by the body processing tools. The most common bacteria detected belonged to the Acinetobacter, Pseumonas, Staphylococcus, and Bacillus genera. While the most common fungi detected belonged to the Cladospodium, Aspergillus, and Alternia genera.
