Fat burns hot. Always has. Shouldn’t be a new revelation.

Could they not use a band saw and only cremate half at a time?

Reminds me of the story of how Henry VIII's body exploded in his coffin, and how supposedly, dogs were present to lick up the mess.

Also FTA......

The danger of fires when cremating obese bodies isn’t an entirely unknown issue for the funeral service profession: “As you may realize, when a morbidly obese person is cremated, there’s a danger of what can only be called (in layman’s terms) a ‘grease fire,’” according to Caleb Wilde, a licensed professional who runs the blog Confessions of a Funeral Director.

In October 2014, a Virginia facility caught fire while cremating a 500-pound body. Fire investigators there said excessive heat ignited rubber roofing near the crematorium’s smoke stack. Another fire, two years earlier in Austria, left firefighters “covered with a layer of sooty grease.”

Funeral people say of fat folks, “they bring their own BTU’s to the fire.”

I suppose they could have discreetly carved it into smaller pieces. This is one of those chores I am SO glad somebody else does. Glad to pay for it, thank you.

As I read this, I could not help but have several songs play in my head.

The Ring of Fire, Burning Love, Great Balls of Fire...

Swell...2 miles from my house; glad the fire wasn’t too big and I wasn’t down wind.

Note to wife: Bury me, don’t cremate.
