Coffins

[incuriam]

Are coffins for adults a standard size? If so, how does the undertaker stop a short than standard body from moving about inside the coffin when it's being taken out of the hearse etc.?

[tigga]

They dont but i dont think i could be bothered moving with only a few inches space any way would you ?

They measure you in the morgue like for anything else!

They're like suits, there are standard sizes and there's made to measure. Made to measure is more expensive obviously.

They can also use cotton wool and gently pad out the remaining space in the coffin to prevent the corpse rolling about too much.  This is useful if the body is particularly round and liable to roll about in transit.

Hope this helps
