Which term refers to a sprayed finish that has the appearance of small indentations in the metal; the indentations are in the paint and appear as the paint dries, usually found on inexpensive caskets?

• A. Grave Liner
• B. Hammertone
• C. Hardware
• D. Hermetically Sealed

Answer: (B)

Hammertone describes a sprayed finish that creates a hammered, dimpled texture. The tiny indentations are in the paint layer and become visible as the paint dries, giving a stippled, hammered appearance that’s often seen on inexpensive metal caskets. This texture is about the surface finish, not the components or seals, which is why other terms like grave liner, hardware, or hermetically sealed don’t apply here.
