Coping with Sizes in Death
Infrastructure inside a hearse - the position of the rollers are adjustable to cope with different coffin sizes.
Different ways humans are sized up: shoes, socks, waist, headband, sleeve, check, bust, inside leg and so on. In life and in death. Whether the hearse default sizes from yester-year can cope with today's shifting body shapes and sizes?
Do we shrink after death?
If so, by how much, over what period of time?

OK, so you have to read the book about corpses in all their uses, called "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" by Mary Roach. It's a great book; just don't read it over lunch! (No, I'm not plugging the book -- I got it from a relative.)
