Ogee flange (rim flange) is described as what?

• A. The turned under edge or horizontal portion of the casket rim which comes into contact with the gasket or body ledge flange (top body molding flange)
• B. The outer edge of the casket handle
• C. The gasket seal around the body
• D. The decorative overlay on the lid

Answer: (A)

The important idea here is what part forms the sealing surface around the body of a casket. The ogee flange, also called the rim flange, is the turned-under edge or horizontal portion of the casket rim that sits against the gasket or the body ledge flange (the top edge of the body). This surface provides the contact area for the gasket when the lid is closed, helping to create a proper seal and keep the lid aligned with the body. It isn’t the outer edge of a handle, nor the gasket itself, nor a decorative overlay on the lid—so that description doesn’t fit.
