Just don’t use a full weight litter/coffin. He’s not a vampire, so the whole ‘rising from the coffin to seize the woman wearing white and force them to marry the vampire’ thing doesn’t have to happen. They could use a very light rug with poles shoved through to carry the offspring. If five grown men can’t dance beneath the weight of four poles building a frame with a rug carrying a person, either they need more protein, or the kid needs less.

It messes up the pallbearing dance cadence if there are an uneven number of dads though, they’ll just have to get another dad in the mix.
So put ‘daddy’ in the middle, operating another pole.
