I've installed lead lined doors in medical centers that weigh 200 pounds on their own. A casket could be a little more I guess.

Yeah, that was the question. I say $125K worth a coffin is not gold sprayed wood. And I've seen pall bearers struggling with coffins before where I knew it wasn't the passenger causing the struggle.

Add 105 pound Ivanka, give or take, to the bronze/copper model and, yeah, they're struggling.
