Which term is sometimes used to refer to a metal case in this context?

• A. Ziegler case
• B. Wooden casket
• C. Plastic urn
• D. Concrete container

Answer: (A)

In funeral service terminology, a metal container for the deceased is sometimes called a case, and the phrase “Ziegler case” became a historical shorthand for this metal form because a prominent metal-case manufacturer named Ziegler popularized the term. This usage distinguishes metal cases from wooden caskets, cremation urns, or non-standard containers. The other options don’t fit because wooden caskets are wooden, an urn is for cremated remains, and a concrete container isn’t a typical metal casket in standard practice.
