Two large adults are exposed to pressures at seven miles below the sea.... They are both crushed down to the size of Cabbage Patch Dolls.
If they died...
Would they still get adult sized caskets?

No, but they would get adult sized memorials, since the bodies would not be recovered.
Actually seven miles down is about 11,265 meters down, or 1,127 bar. That means the pressure would be 1,127 times greater than the pressure at sea level. In other words, the bodies would be crushed. If they are recovered with a deep see submarine, then they would not spring back to their original shape when the pressure is reduced. There would be equal pressure inside and outside, therefore without some sort of pressure from the inside pushing out, they would stay about as small as they were before (there would be a slight change, like when you squeeze a sponge and then release it, but they would not return to the size they were before).

There would be no need for them to get adult sized caskets, so I would guess not.
Besides, it would probably be cheaper to get the smaller casket than it would be to get the larger one.
