Big people are creating bigger problems for funeral directors and cemeteries.
South Auckland's Manukau Memorial Gardens is now planning to open an area with larger plots, in response to the obesity epidemic.
Former All Black and now funeral director, Va'aiga Tuigamala, says the problem is widespread. He told Newstalk ZB suppliers are having to change their casket sizings, to meet demand, "an extra large or oversize casket is now considered a medium to small casket", he said. While bigger caskets and plots are also putting cost pressures on families planning funerals.

It's been reported that standard coffins range from 16-20 inches, but coffins up to 40 inches are becoming increasingly common. In fact, this is just another demonstration of how the UK's obesity problem is putting a real strain on public services.
