Much as I pledged not to debate, and though I think it *is* a good idea, I thought about it myself a while ago and figured it couldn't happen - for an adult, whatever size they've been reduced to, you would always use a full-size adult coffin ... for the sake of dignity, essentially. But I'm confused about the apparent size of this coffin too. No-one would be as scornful as Kate was about a child's death, yet the coffin doesn't look like a full-sized adult one. I'd suggest it was some kind of an accidental perspective trick, only the top-down shot suggests otherwise. I suppose if the person had no money and no-one to pay for a proper coffin, they *might* skimp on materials (US healthcare suggests so anyway), but I'd be kind of surprised. But yeah. It's a big mystery.
(Sorry. One-off.)
