Application of Casket Accessories

 

 

Casket accessories are vital elements that augment the primary structure of a Casket, elevating its visual charm, practicality, and the overall solemnity of a funeral service. These accessories cater to funeral directors, suppliers, and bereaved families who seek to personalize the eternal abode of their departed. Ranging from ornamental details that impart individuality to utilitarian features that fulfill specific needs, Casket accessories serve multiple purposes. The underlying principles governing Casket accessories revolve around reverence for the departed and the bereaved family's or culture's wishes. Funeral directors employ these items to foster a respectful ambiance throughout the funeral or interment. The choice of Casket accessories is influenced by a myriad of considerations, including religious or cultural importance, personal taste, and the commemoration of the deceased's legacy. Compliance with relevant standards and regulations is also crucial, particularly for services such as cremation or conventional interment. Beyond their decorative and practical applications, Casket accessories also bear symbolic significance in the rites of passage. For example, handles may symbolize the supportive hands of family and friends, while linings and pillows offer solace on the final voyage. These elements afford mourners the opportunity to express their veneration and bid farewell in a manner befitting their emotional and cultural predilections.

 

How to Assemble and Install Swing Bar Casket Handles
 

Manufacturing swing bar style casket hardware
There are two ways swing bar hardware is manufactured: pressed and cast. Pressed steel parts are made by shaping steel sheets between dies in a mechanical or hydraulic press. Cast, on the other hand, is a process where melted steel--or some other alloy--is poured as liquid metal into a form. Cast parts are more expensive, and therefore, less common than pressed steel parts.

 

Attaching swing bar casket handles to a casket
Swing bar casket handle hardware is available in two different styles of attaching to the casket: bolt-through and adapter. The adapter style is made with two pressed steel parts assembled together with a 3-hole pattern. The first part, the arm, has a shape with two small metal tabs that insert into the second part, the adapter. The arm has a strap shape that wraps around a wooden or metal dowel that serves as the casket handle.
The adapter has a 3-hole pattern for receiving the arm. The adapter also has holes for attaching to a casket--generally 2 or 3 holes for attaching to a wooden casket with screws.
The arm & adapter style is inexpensive and common, but not as durable as the bolt-through style. The bolt-through style is an arm assembled with a small bolt welded to a hinge with one or two rivets securing the bolt to the arm. The bolt attaches to the casket through the casket wall and is secured from the inside of the casket with a nut and washer.
Both styles of swing bar casket arms attach to a wooden or metal dowel the same way. The arms come in oval or round sizes ranging from 7/8 inch diameter to 1-1/2 inch diameter. Perhaps the more common dowel style is an oval that is 1 inch wide by 1-1/4 inches tall.

 

Securing a dowel to the swing bar casket handle bracket
Securing the dowel to the bracket requires a hammer and punch, or a brick chisel. If you plan to assemble a lot of these, a brick chisel ground out with two gentle curves and a center tab will prove to be very useful. With a hammer and punch or chisel, wrap the strap around the dowel and give two to three solid hammer swings and notice how the back bend in the strap will stretch around the dowel. Next, while holding the strap in place, fold the two small tabs with a hammer and punch (or the fancy ground out brick chisel) to secure the strap in place. Finally, add a very small screw--a #4 by 3/8 will do--with a low head profile in any one of the holes in the strap. This screw will prevent the dowel from turning inside the bracket while in use. Be careful to use a low head profile and position in the strap so the screw does not scratch your casket side wall. Use a small rubber "bump on" sticker to keep the handle slightly away from the casket wall if necessary.

 

How to Install Hinges for Casket Lids
 
 

Hinges for caskets are designed to be separable. This makes it easy to install and remove the casket lids during finishing and upholstery. Each hinge has two components. The base (or escutcheon) is the part that attaches to the top edge of the casket sidewall. The other part that attaches to the casket lid is called the hinge stud.

 
 

There are two styles of casket hinge bases. One style is designed to fit snug over the edge of a 3/4 inch thick board. This style is suitable for a plain pine box or pine coffin style of casket. The other style is a flat-mount for a more ornate casket with mouldings on the top & bottom edges of the outside sides.

 
 

When installing the hinges, first measure and position the hinge bases on the casket sidewall. The edge-mount style bases should fit snug on a 3/4 inch thick sidewall. The flat-mount style should align nicely on the top edge of the casket wall with moulding. Secure the bases with #6x3/4 screws. Next place the lids on top of the casket. Adjust them into the position desired and leave 1/8 minimum to 1/4 maximum gap between the two halves of the lid--for a two piece split couch casket design. Next, with a pencil or marking tool, mark the lid on the inside of the hinge base where the hinge stud will mount.

 
 

Flip the lids over on a work surface and secure the hinge studs to the casket lid. To install the lid, hold the lid in a position about 100-degrees open--just past straight up. The hinge studs will hook into the bases. Then pull the lid closed. Once the lid is closed to about 90 degrees, the studs will no longer lift out of the bases. When aligning the top supports, you want the casket lid to be at 88 to 90 degrees when open.

 
 

For full couch caskets, we recommend using 4 hinges. For split couch caskets we recommend 2 hinges per half lid on pine caskets and 3 hinges per half lid on heavier hardwood caskets.

 

 

 

What Happens to Casket Accessories After Cremation

There is an urban myth that casket accessories are unscrewed before the cremation so they can be reused. However, this is not actually true—most casket accessories are not worth enough money to make this extra step worthwhile.
The entire coffin, complete with the handles and the deceased's body, is placed inside the cremator together. Some crematoriums are happy to use a board, but others prefer a coffin. The cremation coffins are built in such a way that they are completely destroyed during the cremation process. Extreme heat is needed to cremate a body, so much so that by the end of it, there is normally little to nothing left of the coffin among the ashes.
The ashes themselves are made up mostly of bone fragments. The precious metal items, including screws, handles, or implants that do not disintegrate in the cremator, are collected with a large magnet after the cremation and taken to be recycled. This is done because the bone fragments are ground down with an industrial pulverizer to create the powder known as cremation ashes.

A Guide to Choosing the Right Casket Accessories for Your Casket
 

Material

The material of the handles plays a crucial role in both the aesthetics and durability. Traditional casket accessories are often made of solid brass or polished metal, which exude a classic and elegant feel. However, if you’re looking for a more modern touch, you can opt for handles made of high-quality wood or even synthetic plastic materials that mimic the appearance of metal.

 

Design

The design of casket accessories can range from simple and understated to intricate and ornate. It is essential to consider the overall style and theme of the funeral when selecting the handles. Classic designs with clean lines and minimal embellishments tend to complement traditional funeral settings, while more elaborate designs can add a touch of grandeur to the proceedings.

 

Functionality

While the appearance of the handles is important, their functionality should not be overlooked. Casket accessories should be sturdy and reliable. In countries where the casket is carried by the handles, consideration should be given to ensure they are capable of withstanding the weight of the casket and providing a secure grip for pallbearers. It is advisable to choose handles that are ergonomically designed, ensuring ease of use and minimizing the risk of accidents during the carrying process.

 

Customization Options

Personalization is becoming increasingly significant in funeral services. Many funeral suppliers offer customization options for casket accessories such as name plates, allowing you to add a personal touch for your clients. Engraving with the name or initials of the deceased can create a meaningful tribute and make the funeral service more memorable for the bereaved.

 

Casket Hardware

In addition to handles, there are various other casket hardware that can enhance the overall appearance of the casket. From decorative corner pieces to nameplates, these accessories can help create a cohesive and visually appealing display. Consider coordinating the style and finish of the handles with other accessories to ensure a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing final product.

 

Durability and Maintenance

Finally, it is essential to consider the durability and maintenance requirements of the casket accessories. casket furniture needs to withstand reasonable use and transportation while maintaining their appearance. Opt for handles that are made from high-quality materials and are resistant to corrosion or tarnishing.

A: In some cases, a tall person's legs may be bent at the knee enough to allow them to fit in a standard casket, but there are times when an oversized casket is the better option.
