Removing and resizing partitions

I have a server with a redhat 7.2 default partition scheme. Redhat creates a separate /home and /usr partition.
Now is my /usr partition the most important one. Lost of data on it. While /home is almost empty.
What i want to do is delete the home partition, and create it on the /usr partition again(with some symlinking)

But what i wanted to know, is it possible to expand the /usr partition over the freed up space of the /home partition

I read "parted" could do that, but in the man it doesn't say anything about ext3 file systems, only ext2 and others.

Any hints or other things i have to think about.

By the way, i have physical access to the machine, so it's possible for me to go into single mode and do this operation.
