Which term refers to the turned under edge or horizontal portion of the header of the casket cap?

• A. Header flange
• B. Head panel
• C. Hammertone finish
• D. Hardboard

Answer: (A)

In casket construction, the edge feature along the top cross-piece of the cap is described as a header flange. The flange is the turned-under edge that runs along the header, creating a clean finished border and providing a surface for joining and securing the cap to the rest of the casket. This distinction helps differentiate the edge feature from other parts or finishes: the head panel is a decorative panel, hammertone refers to a finish texture, and hardboard is a material used in construction—not the edge term. The idea to remember is that a flange denotes a folded or edge lip, so the turned-under edge of the header is the header flange.
