Swell is an alternate reference to which casket component?

Explanation:
Swell refers to the bulge or raised molding on the top portion of the casket—the crown. In funeral merchandising, the crown is the uppermost section that forms the lid’s decorative cap, and the term swell is used to describe that same top, curved profile. It isn’t the base (the bottom), the gasket (the seal around the rim), or the lid edge (the edge where the lid meets the base), so the best fit for swell is the crown.
