Which term refers to a strip of metal, plastic, or cloth attached to the inside of the panel, covering the area at which the roll is anchored?

• A. Grave Box
• B. Foot Panel
• C. Gasket Channel
• D. Gimp

Answer: (D)

In casket interior finishing, the concept here is a small trimming piece that hides and finishes the edge where upholstery and padding are attached. The term described is gimp—a narrow strip of metal, plastic, or cloth attached to the inside of the panel to cover the area where the padding roll is anchored. It creates a tidy edge and conceals the hardware used to secure the lining. This differs from a gasket channel, which is a groove for the sealing gasket, while grave box and foot panel refer to other parts of the casket rather than this trim.
