NORWOOD, Ohio -- A local woman was laid to rest recently, but her family says she's not at peace.
Barbara Norris of Norwood died last week at age 63. Norris weighed more than 500 pounds, so her children were concerned from the beginning about making sure her casket was big enough, WLWT Eyewitness News 5's Sheree Paolello reported.

This is really sad. I know someone who is really heavy. She has cancer. Doctors told her they cannot operate on her for the cancer because she's too fat. Something must be done about all of this. It's just awful.

Add a couple bronze handles, some satin, and problem solved.

She may have been a big woman, but she was a good woman. A fat check for the daughter of the fat chick.

To: LuLuLuLu
They could've used a piano crate. That presumably would've been large enough, depending upon where the lady carried most of her weight.
But would it have fit into a standard size vault?

Something? How about these people start exercising a little self discipline or suck it up and take the consequences?
To: Ingtar
And I wonder if they would not pay enough for a bigger one, or pay for the two plots it was likely to take.

Nope. I don't know if it was here on FR or elsewhere that I read that the funeral industry is responding to the problem of larger dead Americans. They have to resize the vault, the hole and the casket. Apparently over a certain weight you can't even be cremated because the incinerator won't handle the weight, while some of those below this threshold are opting to be cremated rather than pay the additional charges for outsized caskets, vaults, etc.
All of this is creating a nice little profit center for them.
More than you wanted to know? : )

"Her face was, like, all squished up," she said. She must have had a face that was wider than her shoulders.

"They asked me to lay on the top of the casket to try to get the lock down," Moreno said. Just damn...

I know someone who is really heavy. She has cancer. Doctors told her they cannot operate on her for the cancer because she's too fat. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It sounds like she needs to find another doctor (or more likely, another anesthesiologist).
