Here's a recap of that part of the episode:

"Many people in this country no longer fit in the standard-size casket," said David A. Hazelett, the president of Astral Industries, a coffin builder in Indiana. "The standard-size casket is meant to go in the standard-size vault, and the standard-size vault is meant to go into the standard-size cemetery plot. Everyone in the industry is aware of the problem."
The Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx recently increased its standard burial plot size to 4 feet wide from 2 feet to accommodate wider burial vaults, and the cemetery's newest mausoleum has four crypts designed especially to hold oversize coffins. The Cremation Association of North America has begun providing special training to its members in the handling of obese bodies.
And hearse manufacturers are pushing the limits of design to make their vehicles ever wider and with bigger rear doors.
Now at the risk of being totally morbid (more than this post already is) I always told Brian that if we died together, I wanted to be buried in the same casket, ya know, to snuggle-now we can be! He'll be SO happy!
