Which term refers to a product consisting of a unit or a series of units designed to be used together as both a casket and a permanent burial receptacle?

• A. A product consisting of a unit or a series of units designed to be used together as both a casket and as a permanent burial receptacle.
• B. A single use container for shipping.
• C. A metal urn for cremains.
• D. A display case for caskets.

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is a product designed to perform dual roles: it functions as the casket during the funeral and also serves as the permanent burial receptacle after interment. This is what a combination unit (often described as a unit) is. It comes as a single product or a set of parts intended to be used together, so the same item provides both the casket and the durable container left in the ground. Using a combination unit can streamline purchasing for families and ensure compatibility with cemetery burial requirements, since the container used for the service remains as the permanent burial receptacle.
