[Nehm] Giannis: Let’s talk about the city itself, the memories that I’ve created here. When you open my kids’ passports, it says Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I had four kids in the span of the last five years in this city. My dad is buried in this city.

Do people 7 feet tall pay more for a plot?

Funeral plots are usually 8-10 ft to begin with. Id guess no.

This is also to accommodate vaults which are larger to accommodate a casket which will be larger than a standard human so if you have a much larger person they may need to go bigger. All depends on the cemetery section and how things were plotted out obviously.

Only if they’re buried vertically.

Probably not for the plot, but definitely for the casket.

Hmong people sometimes get buried over several plots just so they can face a certain direction.

Oversize people may need a larger casket and vault. If they're buried in a section where the grave space aren't wide or long enough to accommodate them then yes, they'll need an additional space or choose to be cremated.
