Which casket shell design flares outward from bottom to top, being narrower at the base?

• A. Flaring Square
• B. Flat Finish
• C. Demonstration Group
• D. Direct Lighting

Answer: (A)

The main idea is recognizing how a casket shell’s silhouette describes its shape from bottom to top. A design that flares outward as you move up means the sides widen toward the opening, so the base is narrower than the top. Flaring Square specifically conveys both those aspects: the sides rise and outwardly angle, while the overall profile remains squared at the corners. That matches the description perfectly.

The other options don’t describe the shell’s shape. Flat Finish refers to the exterior surface finish, not the profile. Demonstration Group and Direct Lighting relate to groups or lighting, not casket design.
