Q

A casket having ends in the shape of a half circle. Resembles the shape of an antique bathtub.

  • Historically- almost exclusively a femimine casket
A

Elliptic (Tub Design)

18
Q

A casket having eight angles or corners and therefore has eight sides or body panels.

  • Vast majority are inexpensive cloth-covered units.
A

Octagon

19
Q

Features a curved corner profile.

  • Slightly more expensive- increased amount of workmanship
  • Typically no corner hardward to conceal defects (corner weld seams must be carefully finished and smoothly blended with adjoining surfaces).
A

Round Corner Design

20
Q

Side and end panels are perpendicular to one another, joined at a 90 degree angle. Square in shape.

  • One of the easiest and least costly to manufacture
  • Seams are easily concealed with corner hardware.
A

Square-Corner (Mitter) Design

21
Q
  • Flaring Square
  • Verticle side
  • State Casket
  • Urnside
A

Shapes of the Casket Body Panels

22
Q

A casket shell design in which the sides and ends of the casket body flare out from bottom to top; (the casket) is narrower and shorter at the bottom than at the opening of the top.

  • Frequently used for lower-range cloth-covered caskets
A

Flaring Square Design

23
Q

A casket body style with the body sides at a 90 degree angle to the bottom.

A

Vertical Side

24
Q

A casket in which the body panels are at a 90 degree angle to the bottom and the corners form 90 degree angles.

A

State Casket (Vertical Side Square)

25
Q

A casket design in which the body panels display the shape of an urn.

  • Typically seen within the upper range of any given construction material category.
A

Urnside

26
Q

Gasketed or Non-Gasketed

A

Methods of Cap Closure

27
Q

A casket, almost always of metal or plastic polymer construction, that incorporates a rubber gasket, placed on the perimeter of the body ledge flange (and in the case of half couch caskets, also on the transverse gasket channel). When the casket is closed, the gasket is compressed against the casket body and held in place by the cap’s ogee flange. (And the transverse gasket flange on the head cap header for half-couch).

  • Inhibits the entrance of water, soil, and other gravesite elements.
A

Gasketed Casket

28
Q

simply do not have a gasketed unit, they will go about achieving that purpose via alternative means.

A

Non-Gasketed Caskets

29
Q
  • Hinges
  • Locking mechanism
  • The gasket
A

Components of Greatest Importance- Gasketed Caskets

30
Q

A one-piece molding of rubber. Ridges and depressions are often formed into this to improve its efficacy.

  • Adhered to the body ledge flange, in half couch caskets, secondary lies atop the gasket channel found on the foot cap header.
A

Gasket

31
Q

Connect the cap (or caps) to the body. In order to provide even pressure on the gasket and to enhance the casket’s aesthetics when viewed from all sides, most gasketed caskets feature these actually located inside the casket.

  • Inside the body ledge flange and the ogee flange
  • Small apertures in the gasket allow these to function properly, while maintaing the casket’s integrity.
A

Hinges

32
Q
  • Sliding lock bar
  • Lever lock
  • Threaded fastener
A

Locking Mechanisms

33
Q

A bar, usually of stamped steel, which has been designed to incorporate wedges and is attached to an assembly that allows the bar to travel back and forth.

  • Closing is accomplished with a key- causes the bar to travel or slide and engage eyes (striker pins) located on the ogee flange, drawing the cap to the body.
  • Key’s insertion point usually found in the top body molding at the foot end of the casket or in the middle front of the casket.
A

Sliding Lock Bar

34
Q

Usually an elaborately-handled allen wrench.

A

Key

35
Q

A less expensive method by which the cap is drawn tightly to the body. Attached to the exterior of the casket on the body ledge flange, this pivots, engages an eye or aperture on the ogee flange, and like the sliding bar, pulls the cap downward.

  • Rather bulky and can reduce the aesthetic appeal of any casket so equipped.
A

Lever Lock

36
Q

A screw type fastener. Gasket compression is achieved by tightening screws that secure the cap to the body.

  • Utilized by the Ziegler case
A

Threaded Fastener

37
Q
  • Latch closure
  • Threaded fastener
A

Casket Lacking Gasket Closures

38
Q

Uses a simple spring-loaded latching mechanism similar to that found on a jewelry box. Most can be actuated with just the fingers, some will require a key.

  • Wood caskets and inexpensive metal caskets
A

Latch Closure Method

39
Q

Frequently used to close hinged-cap caskets. A thumbscrew extends from the crown into the ogee, where it is recieved by a threaded metal sleeve.

A

Threaded Fastener- Nongasketed

40
Q

Though this term implies that the casket is not designed to inhibit the entrance of gravesite elements, there are two varieties of closure utilized by this kind of casket that attempt to ensure that the casket is resistant to the entrance of soil and water.

  • Butyl tape
  • Epoxies
A

Non-Gasketed

41
Q

A synthetic rubber with excellent adhesive qualities (Butyl Tape). These function effectively as gaskets and are frequently used in conjunction with a tongue-and-groove design incorporated into the cap/body.

  • Commonly seen used to close two-piece infant caskets and burial vaults.
A

Butyl Tape and Epoxies

42
Q

Made airtight; impervious to external influence; completely sealed by fusion or soldering.

  • Historically used to seal the massive cast bronze caskets
A

Hermatically Sealed
