The Kamloops funeral home was also unable to cremate him. Most crematoriums have a strict weight limit of 500 pounds and exceeding these limits could risk overheating or dangerous grease fires.

wow - things i never really thought about
yea - it sucks for the family that they had a hard time finding a place to do the cremation - but you kind of have to expect it when someone is that big.
i was talking to my wife about it when the article first came out - it's like someone getting upset/frustrated that they can't send me a 10,000 piece embroidery job and have it ready in a week or two... sorry, my company just isn't setup to take on that much volume in that little time. there are limitations to what services can be provided.
