Overlay (overthrow, throw) refers to what?

Explanation:
Overlay is the decorative fabric that covers the interior surface at the foot end of the casket—the aesthetic covering for the foot cap or inner foot panel. This fabric adds the finished look inside, often extending over the edge to create a cohesive appearance with the rest of the lining. It’s distinct from the interior cushion (the padded support for the body) and from any top lid liner or exterior structural elements. The overlay, sometimes called overthrow or throw, focuses on that foot-area interior detailing.
