Which container is a non-metal receptacle designed for encasement of human remains and made of cardboard, pressed-wood, composition material, or canvas?

• A. Air Tray
• B. Alternative Container
• C. Source Document
• D. Income Statement

Answer: (B)

An alternative container is the non-metal vessel used to encase human remains, and it’s specifically made from materials like cardboard, pressed wood, composition material, or canvas. This type of container is chosen for lower cost or when cremation is planned, and it contrasts with metal caskets or coffins.

The other terms don’t fit this definition: an air tray is a lightweight shipping/outer container used to support a casket during transport, while a source document and an income statement are administrative/financial terms unrelated to funeral containers.
