Which term describes any product designed to be used together as both a casket and as a permanent burial receptacle?

• A. Combination unit
• B. Coffin
• C. Columbarium
• D. Cenotaph

Answer: (A)

A combination unit is the term for a product designed to be used as both a casket and the permanent burial receptacle. This dual-use design means the unit can function for viewing as a casket and also serves as the burial container itself, often eliminating the need for a separate outer burial container. That makes it distinct from a standard coffin, which is primarily a casket for viewing but not inherently a dual-purpose burial receptacle; a columbarium is a structure for housing cremated remains in niches, and a cenotaph is a monument, not a container. So the best fit is combination unit.
