The exhumation exercise at Shakahola Forest was halted to give pathologists time to conduct autopsies on the 110 bodies so far recovered.
The postmortem exercise started Monday and is scheduled to end probably on Friday before the exhumation continues.
The bodies that have been worked on will be kept in special fridges brought by Kenya Road Cross and give room to new ones from the graves.
The Malindi mortuary is already overwhelmed hence need to manage the flow of the bodies, officials said.
More officers were deployed to the forest to search and rescue believers of pastor Paul Mackenzie still holed up therein.
