What Is an Oversized Casket

 

 

An oversized casket is one that's larger than the standard size. A standard casket measures 84" long, 28" wide, and 23" high. However, oversized caskets typically range in width from 29 inches to 44 inches, depending on the need. If an even larger or longer casket is needed, a custom casket can be ordered.

Why Would You Need an Oversized Casket

There are two main reasons why an oversized casket might be needed: a person's weight or height.
Depending on the casket, most standard caskets can only support a weight of up to around 350 pounds. If the person weighs more than their chosen casket can support, then an oversized version of that casket may be needed.
In the same way, if a person is more than 7 feet tall, an oversized casket would better fit the needs of the individual. In some cases, a tall person's legs may be bent at the knee enough to allow them to fit in a standard casket, but there are times when an oversized casket is the better option.
Your funeral director can help you determine whether an oversized casket is needed based on the deceased's weight and/or height.

 

 

Are Oversized Caskets Necessary

Should the person who died need an oversized casket, it's good to know that there are many options for customized size.
Custom-built caskets are quite often made. Nobody should worry about not being able to find a casket for fitting a big body.
We should highlight that oversized caskets are available readily from the same places that also provide standard-sized caskets. It may also come as a surprise for the prices not to be much higher than the costs of regular coffins.
When you cannot find an oversize casket at your provider, it's better that you look elsewhere. You're going to find one that can deliver even faster than you'd think.

Different Size Caskets

 

 

Here is some information about casket sizes:
 

Dimensions Of A Standard Casket
Most caskets are 84 inches in length, 28 inches in width, and 23 inches in depth. Caskets made of wood and steel are almost identical in size. Regular cemeteries are suitable for caskets of standard sizes " (usually 30" in width). There will be a wide range of possible interior coffin dimensions. Metal caskets are typically 78–79 inches long and 23–24 inches wide inside.
Standard caskets can accommodate a person up to 350 pounds and roughly 6'5" in height, making them suitable for most people.


Larger Casket Dimensions
If you'd like more room inside the casket and the deceased person was on the larger side, a more oversized casket could be an option. Although its length is about the same as a regular casket, the interior space is much larger. Larger than average caskets typically measure at least 27 inches across the outer surface but often measure much less inside. Caskets can be found in lengths of 28, 29, 33, 40, and 44 inches. Everything would be sized down by an inch on the inside compared to how it appears outside.

 

Considerations When Choosing a Casket

When selecting a casket, several factors should be taken into consideration to ensure it meets your needs and preferences.

 
 

Material

The choice of material plays a significant role in the overall look and feel of the casket. Consider the durability, aesthetics, and cost of each material option. Keep in mind any cultural or religious traditions that may influence your decision.

 
 
 

Design

Caskets come in various designs, ranging from simple and understated to ornate and elaborate. Consider the style that best reflects your loved one's personality and the tone of the funeral service. Take into account details such as handles, interior fabric, and decorative accents.

 
 
 

Size

Caskets are available in different sizes to accommodate individuals of varying heights and weights. It is essential to choose a casket that provides a comfortable and dignified resting place for your loved one. Consult with the funeral home or casket provider to ensure the correct size is selected.

What's Inside Oversized Casket

● Crepe is usually made from silk, wool, or synthetic fiber which provides a distinctive crimped appearance. This fabric is considered to be traditional and is often associated with mourning.


● Velvet is usually made from synthetic or natural fibers in which cut threads are distributed to provide a soft, thick, even feel from the fabric.

 

What Can You Put in Oversized Casket

The following items can be placed in a oversized casket, or on top of a casket, for most traditional funerals 

 

Photos
Photos of family, personal milestones and celebrations are a popular choice to place inside a loved one's casket.

 

Letters
What can I put in my grandma or grandpa's oversized casket? Farewell notes written by family to the person who has died are often placed inside a oversized casket. Old love letters might also be included.

 

Religious tokens
For some people, it's a comfort to bury a loved one with a bible or religious scripture in their oversized casket, or include items such as rosary beads.

 

Jewellery
What can I put in my mum's oversized casket? Although precious metals do not survive the cremation process, many people choose for their loved one to wear a wedding ring, or other significant item of jewellery for their funeral or burial.

 

Teddies and toys
When a child or baby has died, it can be greatly meaningful to place a favourite soft toy or snuggle blanket with them in their oversized casket, as well as cuddly tributes on your child's grave.

 

Cremation ashes
Some people want to be buried or scattered with cremated ashes of a close member of the family, perhaps a spouse, parent or sibling. Cremation ashes can be placed in a oversized casket before cremation, or combined in a double sized urn after the funeral. Some people even choose to be buried with a pet's cremation ashes. We have a full guide to choosing an urn if you're looking for more information.

 

Flowers
From a special bouquet to a selection of your loved one's favourite blooms, floral tributes are an enduring token of love to place inside someone's oversized casket.

 

What Are the Benefits of Oversized Casket

 

Oversized casket is necessary for some situations, so here are the most significant reasons to do it: 

For protecting the content of the casket

People caring for the person that died would feel better at the thought that nothing will happen to the body any time soon (even if maintaining a body as it cannot be done). Oversized casket will not allow bacteria, soil, or moisture to get inside the casket. Sealed coffins are a perfect choice for people trying to ensure a well-protected resting place for the deceased.

For protecting the environment

Truth be told, contagious diseases occur a lot less nowadays. Back in the days, when someone would die of a contagious illness, the sealed casket would maintain any source of illness inside the casket. It would reduce the risk for bacteria, viruses, and germs to escape, infecting other people, groundwater, or the soil.

Other Reasons for Using Oversized Casket for Burials
 

 

Providing protection to your loved one after they're buried isn't the only reason why families prefer to use oversized caskets. In fact, there are several other reasons for this practice.


● Facilitates transportation of the deceased
When loved ones die in a foreign country or in a place away from home, the bereaved families might want to transport their bodies back home to give them a proper burial. Depending on the location, it may even take days to transport the deceased.
By using an oversized casket, family members can transport their loved ones in a dignified and respectful manner with the least possible decay. And since most caskets and oversized caskets are often provided with bars or railings on the side, pall-bearers can safely carry the body to the burial site. With the body being encased in an oversized casket, the deceased can be lowered safely and in a respectful manner into the grave without causing much of a disturbance.


● Provides the deceased with a peaceful home
Many family members might not be comfortable with the idea of burying their close ones directly in the ground, in other words also known as natural burial. With a oversized casket, they can provide the deceased with a safe and private resting space, protected from the environment and other elements.
Moreover, both oversized caskets and caskets are also lined and padded with soft materials that provide cushioning and a snug fit to the body. This allows family members to take comfort in the fact that they were able to lay the deceased to rest in a peaceful home.


● Protects funeral home staff, friends, and family
Being in close contact with the deceased comes with many health risks due to the onset of decomposition. This is especially true in the case of deaths due to infectious diseases and illnesses. By encasing the body in an oversized casket, you can avoid the spread of diseases and infections due to being in close proximity.
In addition to protecting funeral home staff, who are often tasked with the responsibility of preparing the deceased for a burial, oversized caskets also act as a protective barrier for both friends and family members involved in the last rites of their loved ones before a burial.


● Enables funeral services
Many might want to conduct a final farewell service before laying their deceased to rest. With an oversized casket, family members can conduct a respectful funeral service surrounded by friends and other relatives. That said, an oversized casket is more practical for services where the body of the deceased is not displayed for a viewing.
On the other hand, when it comes to funerals with open viewing, caskets are seemingly the better option. If you're finding it hard to choose an oversized casket vs a casket for a funeral service, remember that there's no right choice. The ultimate decision on whether oversized casket or a casket is right for a funeral service rests with the family members of the deceased.

FAQ
 

Q: Who needs an oversized casket?

A: If the person weighs more than their chosen casket can support, then an oversized version of that casket may be needed. In the same way, if a person is more than 7 feet tall, an oversized casket would better fit the needs of the individual.

Q: How big is too big for a casket?

A: More specifically, anything that is more significant than 84in for the length and more massive than 28in (height) and more extensive than 23in is considered to be oversized. Again, the dimensions above are for the majority of standard caskets, and most human bodies fit in caskets of this size.

Q: How big should a casket be?

A: Most caskets are 84 inches in length, 28 inches in width, and 23 inches in depth. Caskets made of wood and steel are almost identical in size. Regular cemeteries are suitable for caskets of standard sizes " (usually 30" in width). There will be a wide range of possible interior coffin dimensions.

Q: How much weight can oversized casket hold?

A: Standard caskets usually weigh 160 to 220 lbs, depending on the material. They can carry a body that weighs up to 300 lbs (136 kg). Oversized caskets typically weigh 220 to 280 lbs (100 to 113 kg) and have a weight capacity of around 500 lbs.

Q: Do obese people need larger coffins?

A: A person who was obese may be too big for the average coffin which is 22-24 inches wide. They're likely to need a custom-made coffin or casket.

Q: Why are oversized caskets buried 6 feet deep?

A: An ancient practice of burying dead people six feet underground may have helped mask the odor of decay from predators. Similarly, random disturbances, such as plowing, would be unable to reach a person buried six feet underneath. Preventing the Spread of Disease was another major reason.

Q: Are there different sizes of oversized caskets?

A: Caskets are designed to fit within standard burial plots, which are typically 30-inches wide and fit standard caskets and 28-inch and 29-inch oversize caskets.

Q: How do they determine if an oversized casket is needed?

A: Most often, the deceased's weight, height, and width are measured. To determine width, the body is measured from elbow to elbow.

Q: Are oversized caskets easily accessible?

A: Absolutely. The funeral home will likely have oversized caskets available to choose from, or they can order a specific one, if you prefer. Roughly 10% of the population require an oversized casket, so they are readily available.

Q: Do oversized caskets cost more?

A: Yes, but it's based on the type of material you choose. An oversized casket made of mahogany is going to cost more than an oversized casket made of pine or willow. Generally speaking, an oversized casket isn't going to cost much more than a standard casket, but you can keep costs down by choosing a lower cost material.

Q: Will an oversized casket fit in a standard grave liner or burial vault?

A: Most cemeteries require the use of a grave liner or burial vault. Encasing a casket in a grave liner or burial vault prevents the ground around the grave from shifting as the casket decays. This is how cemeteries prevent uneven ground and keep maintenance costs down.
Standard burial vaults have a width of around 30 inches, so a small uptick in the casket size won't affect the burial vault. However, if an even greater width is needed, then a larger burial vault or grave liner will add a little extra to the total cost.

Q: Do oversized caskets come in all materials?

A: If you find a casket you like in standard size, it's likely that the same casket is available in oversize. You can find oversized caskets in all the standard wood options (mahogany, walnut, cherry, oak, birch, maple, pine, willow, etc.) as well in steel, copper, and bronze. If you prefer green burial, there are oversized options available in bamboo, willow, seagrass, and even cardboard.

Q: Where can you purchase an oversized casket?

A: Your local funeral home will have oversized caskets available in their inventory, so they will be the easiest and most convenient option for you. If they don't have what you want on site, they can put in an order specifically for your needs. Alternatively, you can purchase an oversized casket online. However, it will be your responsibility to ensure that the funeral home has access to the casket.

Q: Is an oversized casket really that big?

A: Anything more massive than the standard size is defined as an oversized casket. More specifically, anything that is more significant than 84in for the length and more massive than 28in (height) and more extensive than 23in is considered to be oversized.
Again, the dimensions above are for the majority of standard caskets, and most human bodies fit in caskets of this size.
A typical oversize casket can go as long as 90 in, 36in wide, and 30in tall. If someone in your family weighing around 550 pounds dies, finding a casket will not be like finding the needle in the hey stack. It's not a challenge anymore to find a coffin for a big guy. The stories when families had to get a large container designed for shipping elephants or pianos are all gone. Nowadays, it's only a tiny part of massive people that cannot fit in an oversized casket. No retailer cannot afford not to sell oversized caskets as well.

Q: Do only big people use oversized caskets?

A: You might think that it's only the massive people who buy the oversized caskets, but you couldn't be farther from the truth. There are plenty of people who are interested in oversized caskets, for different reasons.
It's also fair to mention that people working in the industry are willing to make any internal alterations (packing with extra cushions, for instance) for the best accommodation of the people who don't necessarily need the extra space.
Due to the increasing rate of obesity, more and larger oversized caskets are made in the US. It didn't take long for the customers to realize that casket retailers would sell the oversized caskets at a lower price, in an attempt to remove them from stock faster. Therefore, it's common for people to buy an oversize casket and add more layers of cushioning to it, trying to cut down the spending for the funeral. With the casket being buried, some don't bother to add cushioning leaving the coffin as it is.
At the end of the day, considering today's economy, anyone can use an oversized casket, especially when the money for the funeral is tight.

Q: What is oversized casket at a funeral?

A: Oversized casket is a special box made to hold the remains of a deceased person. These boxes are made in rectangular shapes with four sides and hinged lids. Caskets also usually have handles that make them easier to lift, move, and can be used for both cremations and burials depending on the material.

Q: Why do we use oversized caskets?

A: Oversized caskets can help protect the body of the deceased after burial from scavengers, grave robbers and early decay. Coffins enable transportation of the body to the burial site. Coffins give the feeling of having provided your loved one with a peaceful and comfortable resting place.

Q: Why do they cover the legs in oversized casket?

A: The most common reasons to cover a person's legs in a casket are to keep focus on their face and to follow cultural, regional, or religious traditions. Half-couch caskets have split lids that shield the lower half of the body and are common choices for loved ones planning an open-casket service.

Q: Why do oversized caskets have blankets?

A: The drop cloth (or blanket) is there just to cover an ugly space that would remain between the decedent's legs and the bottom of the casket lid. It provides a continuation of the casket interior and covers the lip of the lower lid, as well as the plastic gasket that is on the more expensive caskets.

Q: Why are oversized caskets locked before burial?

A: It's an attempt to care for it even after death. Caskets, be they of metal or wood, are sealed so that they protect the body.
