CASKET

摘要

A casket comprises a shell including a floor, a pair of side walls and a pair of end walls. A head end cap and a foot end cap are each closable upon the shell, each cap having a crown. Each cap crown is constructed of a plurality of boards extending parallel to a longer dimension of the caps and includes a center spine board having grains. The center spine board is fabricated from a single full-length board sawed in two defining a joint therebetween such that the grains of the head end and foot end spine boards match at the joint thereby forming a continuous grain pattern thereat. Remaining ones of the cap crown boards are non-full length boards. The gap between the head and foot end caps when closed upon the shell, in combination with the matching grain of the spine boards, creates the appearance of the cap crowns being constructed of full length boards.
