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.

    Are you still allowed to kill your spouse when you die?

    I think I've heard about that (very sick) practice of rulers/kings having their wives killed and buried with them when they die. Is that what you're alluding to?

    Personally I think that's not ok.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    who can afford coffins these days anyway? Everyone I know is getting cremated, even in the bible belt

    I prefer Klingon death rituals.

    My ex-MIL was cremated, but they had to take a piece of wall out to move her. The family had every bit of her death planned.
