I forget the exact details, but years ago I heard that the hugely-corpulent W.H. Taft was buried in a coffin that either was an actual piano-case, or was the size of a piano-case.
He also supposedly got stuck in the White House bathtub, but that seems to have just been a "presidential myth" like the infamous "Little Georgie Washington and the cherry tree" tale. He apparently did messily overflow a hotel bathtub in Cape May, New Jersey, though, not realizing how much his enormous bulk would displace the water.
NO- he was buried in a standard casket.
The pictures of President Hoover's burial seem to show that he was buried in a Marsellus 710 solid African mahogany casket like the one chosen for the funeral of John F. Kennedy. Unlike a piano, the Marsellus Seven-Ten is a standard casket (to be more specific: a heavily rounded corner design), but a luxury casket above standard, and therefore pricewise close to a grand piano, especially if Hoover's casket was equipped inside with a hermetically sealed inner bronze liner with a full length oval plate glass top.
arguable Taft, who conservatively weighed in at 300Lbs. an oversize coffin would be needed, he needed a larger than usual bathtub also.
