設有照顧、規劃與準備遺體埋葬或火化設施的建築物。一般使用上，其意涵通常與「殯儀館」一詞有所重疊，但停屍間通常設有更多處理遺體的設施，而殯儀館則設有靈堂或其他空間供弔唁死者以及各項亡者服務。於現代詞彙使用狀況下，「停屍間」亦可指稱準備寵物遺體埋葬或火化的設施。

英文....	Buildings housing facilities for the care, planning and preparation of human remains for burial or cremation. While the meaning may overlap in common usage with "funeral homes," generally mortuaries have more extensive facilities for preparing the body and funeral homes have a parlor or other area for formal viewing of and services for the deceased. In modern usage, the term "mortuaries" may also refer to facilities that prepare the bodies of pets for burial or cremation.
