Which term is defined as the interior component covering the hinges that attaches the casket cap to the body (also called hinge cover)?

• A. Hinge cover (hinge skirt)
• B. Hinge skirt
• C. Header
• D. Hardware

Answer: (A)

The interior piece that covers the hinges and helps attach the casket cap to the body is the hinge cover, which is also known as the hinge skirt. This component sits along the hinge line inside the casket and hides the hinge hardware, allowing the cap to pivot smoothly while creating a clean transition between lid and body. Some sources use hinge skirt as the same term, reinforcing that they refer to the same part. Note that the header is a different interior feature near the head end, and hardware refers to the metal fittings in general, not this hinge-cover piece.
