Typically, any casket with an interior wider than 26 inches would be considered oversize.
Batesville offers oversize options for wood up to 28 inches and metal options ranging from 28 inches to 32 inches.
Although there may be variations between oversize and standard caskets across the industry, Batesville has made considerable efforts to ensure that our oversize caskets offer the same features, design, interior, and personalization options as our standard caskets.
The need for an oversize casket depends on a person's individual build and body composition, making it challenging to define a specific height or weight. It generally relates to the width of a person at the shoulders and/or hips. An oversize casket provides additional width to ensure a suitable and dignified fit during viewing or burial.
Most standard burial vaults can hold caskets that are up to 28 inches wide on the interior. However, the key dimension is 29.5 inches on the exterior.
If the exterior exceeds 29.5 inches, it may necessitate an oversize vault or incur additional cemetery fees.
Oversize caskets typically have a higher price than standard caskets because they require additional materials and craftsmanship. Batesville offers various options to meet the needs of all families at different price points.
The largest casket available from Batesville has an interior width of 32 inches.
