Good planning and well-placed questions, will equip you to
be able to plan a unique celebration of life with honor and
dignity.
What’s an Oversize Casket?
Standard caskets are between 24 and 27 inches wide at the
hardware panel, and 80 to 88 inches long. An oversize casket
is anything larger than a standard casket. Most of the major
casket manufacturers carry a line of oversize caskets.
Talk to a Funeral Director:
 |
Let the funeral director know that your
loved one is one of the bigger people.
|
|
Ask the funeral director if the family will
be able to have a traditional service?
|
|
Sometimes special arrangements must be made
to accommodate the size of the casket.
|
|
Tell the funeral director how you would like
to celebrate the memory of your loved one.
|
|
Be prepared to be creative. Here are a few
points to consider:
|
-
The service may need to be moved to another
location due to doorway restrictions for the size of the
casket.
-
You may need to think of a different method
of transport that honors your loved one, because the casket
may not fit into a traditional hearse.
-
You may need to be prepared to buy two grave
plots. Talk to your funeral director; ask him or her to
check the family grave site opening.
-
If you are considering cremation, have your
funeral director confirm this option is available.
-
Oversize caskets, as a general rule, are
limited in color and style options.
