When obese people die, do they suck the fat out so they can fit in the coffin? Or is there a separate coffin for obese people?

    Bigger (heh) issue is cremation. Fat burns hot. Larger people need specially designed and insulated cremation ovens, because regular cremation ovens can’t handle the extra heat. Big cause of crematorium fires.

      crematorium fires.

      Firefighters: “Wait, isn’t that the point?”.

    Coffins come in different sizes. You can even get two-person coffins.

      Side note on this, I believe that episode is where the couple talks about not vaxing their child and that vaccines are just a big business scam.

      Damn, nothings changed in 20 years. People still be idiots.

        no no, I believe the anti vax movement has grown quite a bit since then…

            Sure. Still it’s a very specific thing to write down in your will. Which I think you’d have to do?

            This was a silly question, I just googled images of coffins and realised there is everything from singles, doubles to party sized. I don’t actually know anything about it.

          If my kid and I died at the same time I’d want to be buried together.

    Looks like caskets, custom coffins, and then the fun part I didn’t realize is oversize graves.

    So no worries. Your mom won’t be smooshed in like an oversized sardine.

    Who gets buried anymore? No one can afford a coffin, most of us get cremated. I’m going to have to get my ashes in an old coffee can because the urn costs too much.
