The morgue at Starbase 32.

A morgue is a facility or specific area used to store the bodily remains of the recently deceased for purposes of identification of the body, autopsy, and other postmortem activities.

On many starships, sickbay or another medical facility contains storage areas that use stasis fields to preserve the dead until autospy, transport, or burial. (TNG: "Suspicions") Such storage devices can also be used to keep living beings in stasis. (VOY: "Renaissance Man", "Basics, Part II") On starbases, the infirmary normally contains the morgue.
