A crematorium in Henrico Virginia caught fire last week when a 500 pound body was just too much for it to handle.

In some reports the person was 500 pounds and in others the body was 800 pounds.  Either way, it was too much for a crematorium just outside of Richmond to handle.  The oven where the procedure is done got so hot, the whole building caught fire.

The 500/800 pound body was just too much for the oven to handle.  One reporter described the body as 'rather large'.
