Morgue as a Place for Body Identification

Explanation:
A morgue is a place where dead bodies are kept temporarily for identification, examination, or until arrangements for burial or cremation are made. Morgues are typically found in hospitals, police stations, and other public facilities. In a morgue, the bodies are kept in refrigerated cabinets or on tables until they are identified and claimed by their families or next of kin.

In conclusion, the correct word that can be substituted for a place where bodies are kept for identification is morgue.
