| The wedge-shaped portion of the cap at each end of the crown. It is part of the crown | Pie or Fishtail |
| Constructed in “cut-top” caskets. Gives strength/rigidity at point of transverse cut | Header (Bridge or Cap filler) |
| Turned-under edge (horizontal) portion of the rim. Comes into contact with the gasket (if one is used). OR...comes into contact with the top body molding flange (body ledge flange) | Ogee (Rim) Flange |
| Found only on cut-top (half-couch) gasketed caskets. Holds the transverse gasket that seals the space between the head and foot caps | Gasket Channel |
| The turned-under (or horizontal) portion of the header | Header Flange |
| The portion of the casket that actually receives & holds the body of the deceased | Casket Body |
| Casket Body containing the following components | Top Body Molding (Body Ledge), End/Side Body Panels, Base Molding, Body Ledge Flange, (Top Body Molding Flange), Casket Bottom |
| Molding along the uppermost edge of the body panels, Where the gasket is placed on sealing caskets, Counterpart to cap’s Ogee Flange | Top Body Molding (Body Ledge) |
| Molding along lowermost edge of body panels | Base Molding |
| Refers to the handles, ornamental fixtures, and their fittings that are attached to the casket shell | Casket Hardware |
| The part of the casket handle that is attached to the body | Lug (Ear or Escutcheon) |
| The part of the casket handle that attaches the bar to the lug | Arm |
| Decorative or ornamental part of the casket handle that covers the exposed ends of the bar | Tip |
| Tip curves inward toward the body panel and is attached to the casket body panel. | Return Tip |
| The part of the casket handle, attached to the lug or arm, which is grasped by the casket bearer | Bar |
| requires an arm to make it mobile | Swing Bar |
| is non-moveable and does not incorporate an arm as the bar is directly attached to the lug | Stationary bar |
| A single handle in which the lug, arm and bar are combined in one unit. | Bail Handle |
| An optional part of the hardware that is attached to the four corners of the body panels. Custom/detachable corner pieces. Act as lugs for continuous stationary bar. Enhance eye appeal. Cover unfinished weld seams. Considered part of the hardware | Corner |
| Most expensive method. Molten metal poured into mold; cooled; removed for use. Found on high quality caskets | Cast Hardware |
| Hardware sections are pressed out on a hydraulic press. This method is much less expensive | Stamped Hardware |
| Hardware is molded by injecting molten plastic into a die | Plastic Extrusion Molding |
| Insert for Full Couch | Foot Panel |
| The crown of the casket opened upward and the ogee opened down producing the original full or half couch. No longer in use | Non-Perfection |
| The ogee is an integral part of the cap and is attached to the crown | Perfection Cut |
| The ogee (rim), crown and pies are formed as one unit and raise as one piece | Perfection Full Couch |
| The rim (ogee), crown, and pies are formed as one unit. Transverse cut in the cap that forms two pieces | Perfection Half Couch Casket |

| Gasketed Caskets (Sealing) | Sliding Lock Bar, Lever Lock, Threaded Fastener |
| Non-Gasketed Caskets (Non-Sealing) | Latch Closure, Threaded Closure, Chemical Compound |
| Threaded Fastener | Used on Ziegler Cases |
| Similar to jewelry box. Used on wooden caskets and inexpensive metal | Latch Closure |
| Used on hinged cap. Thumbscrew from crown into ogee which is received by a metal sleeve | Threaded Closure |
| Synthetic rubber tape | Chemical Compound Closure |
| Airtight and impervious to external influence. Completely sealed by fusion or soldering. Not common today | Hermetically Sealed |
| Exterior Size | Both wood and metal: 84" L x 29" W |
| Interior size Metal | 78" L x 23" W Interior height is 16-24 inches |
| Interior size wood | 75" L x 22" W Interior height is 16-22 inches |
