In casket hardware, what is the Arm?

• A. The lug
• B. The bar
• C. The casket handle
• D. The part of the casket handle that attaches the bar to the lug

Answer: (D)

The Arm is the connector piece that links the bar to the lug on a casket handle. It acts as the hinge between the horizontal bar you grasp and the mounting point (the lug) fixed to the casket. The bar is the part you hold, the lug is the mounting point on the casket, and the casket handle is the whole assembly. So the arm’s function is to join the bar to the lug, allowing the handle to pivot and be used smoothly.
