As Americans get fatter, caskets, burial plots, even hearses must get bigger
THE NEW YORK TIMES ^ | September 28, 2003 | Warren St. John

There, one can see a triple-wide coffin -- 44 inches across, compared with 24 inches for a standard model. With extra bracing, reinforced hinges and handles, the triple-wide is designed to handle 700 pounds without losing what the euphemism-happy funeral industry calls its "integrity."

Goliath specializes in coffins for the obese — for the deceased weighing as much as 1,000 pounds. Business has increased by 20 percent a year for the past decade.

In the company's factory, workers weld metal frames, including some that are bigger than the bed of a pickup truck. A standard-sized casket today is 27 inches wide.

"When we started out," says Davis, "we were building 33-inch-wide caskets and we thought that was an obese casket." But 10 years ago, he says, that began to change. "Now we're up to 52-inch-wide caskets and I hope that's going to be large enough."

Transporting a casket for an obese person can cost twice as much as a regular casket. There are other costs such as larger cemetery plots, which make a funeral for an obese person at least 30 percent more expensive.

god damn im sexXxy (phew)

Lol you did the research. Good knowledge to know I suppose. Hate to have to be the one to carry those fat bastards.

Jesus that is a big fucking coffin I wonder how many regular ppl you can fit in that thing>????

i often wondered about that myself. i'm 6'5" about 290 with a 60"chest. i always thought i would need a special coffin, but maybe not

I'd want a big coffin. That way, if I'm not really dead, I'll at least have some space to try to bust my way out. Of course, I'd prefer a crypt or something where I'm lying on a table, with a door that needs a key and shit to open from the outside, but you can open it easily on the inside

I don't think you'll be much alive after they imbalm you. That would suck though if they started imbalming you and you were alive.

I'm not getting embalmed

Well in that case. Mabye you could get buried alive.

not if I do my crypt plan
