Which interior component of a casket is described as the focal part that fills the inside of the crown and may be bordered by the roll (cove)?

• A. Cap filler
• B. Cap panel
• C. Casket liner
• D. Cap interior

Answer: (B)

In casket interior design, the cap panel is the interior fabric panel that sits in the cap and forms the crown’s visible focal area. It fills the inside of the crown and is commonly bordered by the roll (cove), giving the crown its finished edge. This central, decorative piece is what draws the eye when you open the lid.

Cap filler is padding or backing behind the panel, not the main decorative piece in the crown. Cap interior refers to the interior surface of the cap as a whole, not the specific focal panel. Casket liner covers the entire interior surface, not just the crown area. So the cap panel best fits the description.
