Okay, so this one is for the idiots who believe that their weight only affects themselves… I work in a funeral home. When the planetary beings go supernova, guess who gets to try to lug their fatasses around? Any guesses yet? Yup, your local funerary staff. We get the pleasure of trying to get them from where they decided to check out, to the funeral home, then embalming table (let's not even mention the struggles to properly embalm a butter golem), then the dressing table and finally into a casket (at least, that's the process where I am). In my story here the latter two steps where the trickiest. I had a beast about 400 or so pounds, already embalmed and stiff, I had to devise a way to get this massive glutton into the clothes the family brought in. Now I usually consider myself to be a strong lady but, I had to employ the assistance of 2 other people just to get him dressed and then placed into the casket, which of course was oversized and difficult to maneuver through the funeral home to the viewing room.
When the eatbeast passes, their weight affects those in the funeral service industry and our ability to efficiently take care of them, especially without help (using more resources) and causing many injuries, yes we do have things called lifts and yes it was used in this instance, but in a small and old funeral home, you get nothing fancy (but not intended to be used to dress a body, which we had to do), and yes I did still manage to slightly hurt my back (don't posses the greatest spine anyway) even with employing all of the assistance I could.
Now to bring this novella home, fast forward to the family coming in to check to make sure everything is satisfactory, what I assume was the mother (I didn't meet with the family originally), moon sized herself, of course wants to know if snacks will be provided during visitation (asking under the guise that her local funeral home provides them and is just curious if we do the same) :/ of course there will be.

Well until they get so fat that they burn the building to the ground during their cremation

They never think about the grease fires.

Normally, I would want a person to choose embalming (it's my favorite part of this business) but when it comes to the obese... yes cremation please!
