What is Apron in casket terminology?

• A. The lining attached to the under surface of the foot panel of the casket and/or a component part of the throw which extends downward into the body of the casket
• B. The decorative top edge of the lid
• C. A type of fabric used for lining
• D. A metal strip along the base

Answer: (A)

The apron is the interior finishing piece at the foot end of the casket. It’s the lining attached to the underside of the foot panel, and it can also be a part of the interior throw that extends downward into the body of the casket. This area provides a neat, continuous finish where the foot panel meets the lining, and it’s distinct from the lid’s decorative edge, from a fabric type, or from any metal base component.
