When you have to identify a dead body, can you do it at a police station or does it only happen at a hospital?

If a dead body was found that needed to be identified by the next of kin, would this ever take place at a police station or only at the hospital morgue?

They never bring bodies to the police station. It would take place at the morgue.

At a morgue.

The body would be taken to a mortuary, then the next of kin usually would identify the body in a viewing room usually,not a nice experience

our police station is on the second floor of the city building, they dont drag dead people into the office building elevator, they use one of our local hospitals for a morgue.

i think that it is always at the coroners

I believe you're in the UK. In that case the identification takes place at the hospital mortuary. They have a viewing room where the body would be presented as decently as possible.

Last time I did a body ID was at the morgue after a pal of mine got murdered by an intruder in his home many years ago.

Hospital Morgue unless you live in some backwater town somewhere

Morgue

At a morgue, always. In smaller locales the local hospital will have a morgue set up, in larger metropolitan areas the Office of the Coroner has a morgue.
