Which description matches a state casket?

• A. A casket with rounded corners and curved body panels.
• B. A casket in which the body panels are at a 90 degree angle to the bottom and the corners form 90 degree angles.
• C. A casket with a domed lid.
• D. A casket with tapered sides.

Answer: (B)

State casket design is characterized by straight, squared-off lines: the body panels meet the bottom at ninety-degree angles and the corners are square. This creates a box-like silhouette with crisp, right-angled edges. That’s why the description describing body panels at a 90-degree angle to the bottom and corners at 90 degrees matches a state casket. Other styles emphasize curves or different profiles—rounded corners with curved panels yield a softer, curved look; a domed lid refers to the top shape rather than the overall body geometry; and tapered sides describe a narrowing silhouette rather than strict right angles.
