Why don't they just cremate him?

Because he's too big to fit into the incinerator. Did you actually read

He's not too big if you just cremate one piece at a time.

Oink oink oink oink, oink oink oink, oink oink.

Have they not heard of chainsaws?

Messy. Use a band saw.

Actually, I've wondered about this myself, and now suspect there may
be some local or state laws against desecrating or mutilating a body.
Chopping up a corpse for disposal is generally classified as criminal
activity, and doesn't meet the definition of autopsy or embalming
procedures.

I was thinking about that. Does it still count as disrespecting his
body when *HE* so obviously disrespected his body first?

Well I can certainly disrespect your body and you don't even have to
be dead. **** ant.

Too bad the dude lacked the forethought to donate his remains to
science, they could have chopped, sliced and minced without any concerns
over desecration. Of course, medical schools and mortuary science
programs probably aren't equipped to handle 700lb corpses either.

In summary: ick.

We had a rendering plant at a meat-works I was at a few years ago that could
have handled him. We often disposed of 500kg hogs that had died in the pens
that way. The smell did get a bit rough at times though.

May you be disposed of the same way.

The smell of 500kg hogs can not be much different than the smell of
a 500lb human pig. (or even perhaps a 275lb human pig)

Lady Vetran has alluded to not taking a bath for 3 months. Can you
even imagine???

Are you sure that your family paid for your education. Damn, you need
a refund and terminal servitude for the way you tortured your
parents.
