In hospitals, the mortuary is generally hidden away in the farthest corner of the grounds, but these days a number of major hospitals, including Taipei Municipal Wanfang Hospital, National Taiwan University Hospital, Hualien's Tzu-Chi Buddhist General Hospital, and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Linkou, have spent large sums to upgrade the quality of their mortuary facilities.
過去，最容易傳聞鬧鬼的太平間，總是藏在醫院最偏僻、陰暗的角落。如今包括台北市立萬芳醫院、台大醫院、花蓮慈濟醫院、林口長庚醫院等的太平間，都花大錢重新裝潢。
