Which term is a transfer container consisting of a particle board box with a cardboard tray and cover to satisfy air shipping regulations?

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

Answer: (A)

When shipping remains by air, the packaging used must be a rigid, compliant transfer container. The term describes a lightweight, economical option: a combination case. It is a particle board outer box with a cardboard tray inside and a cover, designed to meet air shipping regulations by providing the necessary rigidity and protection while keeping weight and cost down. This container serves the regulatory requirement for safe air transport without the expense of a full hardwood coffin. It’s distinct from a traditional coffin or casket, which is a burial container, and from a columbarium, which houses cremated remains in urn form.
