The portion of the casket that is not visible, in which rest upon the bier is the
Bottom
Reinforcing grooves in the bottom which add strength on metal caskets are
Stiffeners
The movable casket handle with a hinged arm is called the
Swing bar handle
The non- movable casket handle is called a
Stationary bar handle
The single handle in which the lug, arm, and bar are combined in one unit is called the
Bail handle
The piece attached to the casket body also called the “EAR” is the
Lug
The piece that attaches the bar to the lug and is typically found on swing bars is the
Arm
The piece that attaches to the lug or arm and is grasped by the casket bearers is the
Bar
The decorative or ornamental portion that covers exposed ends of the bar found only on swing bar handles is called the
Tip
Molten metal poured into a mold, allowed to cool, and removed from the mold, most expensive hardware production method is called
Cast construction
Sheets of metal pressed into hardware components on a hydraulic press, less expensive than cast hardware is called
Stamped constuction
Method of molding plastic , inject molten plastic into a die is known as
Extrusion
The casket where the cap lifts as one complete unit, casket fully opened at head and foot ends, exposes entire body is a
Full couch casket
The casket where the rim, crown, and pie formed as one unit, raises as one piece is called a
Perfection full couch
The casket in which the cap is cut into two sections, head cap, foot cap, only head cap is opened for viewing is called a
Half couch
The casket where the rim, crown, and pies are formed as one unit with a transverse cut in the cap, forms a head and foot cap is called a
Perfection half couch
Focal part of the interior which fills inside of the crown, sometimes bordered by the roll, “PANEL” is called the
Cap panel
The interior portion of the head cap is the
Head panel
The interior portion of the foot cap is the
Foot panel
In full couch caskets the functional or ornamental covering in foot end, or located at both head and foot ends is the
Inner panels
Lines the rim and surrounds the cap panel also called the “COVE/PUFFING” is the
Roll
The strip of metal, plastic, or cloth attached to cap interior, covers area where roll is anchored to the rim flange also called the “FOLD” is the
Gimp
The aesthetic covering for foot cap or inner foot panel also called the “OVERLAY” is the
Throw
The portion of the throw which extends downward into body of the casket, lining attached to under-surface of the foot panel also called the “SKIRT” is the
Apron
The 1000’s of tiny hollow cells found in the composition of wood are known as
Cellulose
The glue that binds cellulose together that allows the wood to breathe is know as
Lignin
Deciduous, leaf bearing trees with a closer grain pattern in which are tough and stronger are know as
Hardwoods
Coniferous, cone bearing trees with needles that have a less distinctive grain pattern and are soft and easy to work with are
Softwoods
Wood is measured in
Board feet
A board foot is
1 square foot and 1 inch thick
The laminate created by gluing thin layer of wood of superior value or excellent grain to an inferior wood is a
Wood veneer
The laminate created by gluing a thin layer of man- made material to an inferior wood or other material (formica or vinyl) is a
Artificial laminate
Wood- by- products such as cardboard used on alternative containers, cloth covered caskets (offered by York and Batesville Casket Companies) are called
Corrugated fiberboard
Wood-by-products of particles of wood bonded together with waterproof glue (particle board, pressed board, fiberboard, hardboard, flake board ) are called
Composition board
Wood-by-products of thin sheets of wood glued together with grains at right angles to one another are called
Ply wood
Any metal formed from iron is a
Ferrous metal
Metal alloy (a substance composed of two or more metal) consisting mainly of iron and carbon is
Steel
Measurement of thickness of metals, the number of sheets of metal necessary to equal approximately one inch of thickness is known as the
Gauge
The lower gauge, thicker metal that is 67% thicker is a
16 gauge (1/16 of an inch)
The higher gauge and thinner metal is a
20 gauge (1/20 of an inch)
The metal alloy of steel, chromium, and sometimes nickel that resists rust is a
Stainless steel
The stainless steel that is magnetic and contains no nickel is a
400 series
The stainless steel that is non-magnetic and contains 8% nickel is a
300 series
Any metal not formed from iron is a
Non- ferrous metal
The non-ferrous metal that is malleable, ductile has metallic element a reddish brown color and naturally resistant to rust/ corrosion is
Copper
The type of copper that is rolled into sheets and pressed to form casket shell is
Wrought copper
The type of copper that is the core of copper metal
and has copper ions combined by an electrolytic process used to make seamless caskets is
Copper deposit
The type of copper that is poured into a mold and broken away which is very expensive is
Seamless solid cast copper
The metal alloy consisting of 90% copper with tin and sometimes zinc comprising the other 10%, and is naturally resistant to rust/ corrosion is
Bronze
The type of bronze that is rolled into sheets and pressed to form casket shell is
Wrought bronze
The type of bronze that is poured into a mold and allowed to cool and is also the most expensive type of casket is made of
Cast bronze
Non- ferrous metals are measured by
Ounces per square foot
The standard of measurement of non- ferrous metals is referred to as the
Brown and Sharpe gauge
The compound with a high molecular weight and similar in appearance to plastic which is extremely durable is
Polymer
Fine filaments of glass embedded in various resins is
Fiberglass
