What are the Names for Parts of a Casket? - Just Give Me 2 Minutes

[@zadejustin3576]

Great video! I've always been fascinated by caskets since I was a child! Would you be able to show a demonstration on the mechanisms of a sealing casket? Such as how to lock the lids in place? That be an awesome video!

[@KaritheMortician]

You would not see anything because it is inside

[@kennygore1395]

wow I blown away. Please keep on posting these two min. clips. I love them!!!!!!!

[@KaritheMortician]

I will!

[@2LittleDachshunds]

Who knew there were so many parts to know the names for?!!

[@KaritheMortician]

National Board level info

Excellent ....happy Thanksgiving to you and your wonderful family Kari😀

Thank you!

[@lavieestbelle6068]

Thank you this was înformational.

[@boobleeboo9947]

I’m always learning from you. I’m very thankful for you .

[@KaritheMortician]

Thank you for that!

[@carolynlovescalise166]

He, he looks who's teaching us on KZbin too!!

[@theadster2702]

Okay!!! That is all crazy and unnecessary.... It's a box with a lid, a rim, a liner and a handle !!!!!!............lolololo

[@katiesterling5270]

As a Funeral Service student, I assure you these parts are important to know and learn. In addition to these parts, different finishes, ornaments, fabrics and metals comprise the casket. Without the knowledge of the parts, how they are affixed, and where they are located, we would be unable to serve families and fulfill specific requests. Similar to car, when ordering parts, you wouldn’t just say “the handle” you’d say the trunk latch, hood latch, car door opener, glove compartment pull, etc.” It’s necessary.

[@mikeatkins1101]

Great video I'm hauling a load of working caskets now to North Carolina this is the 2nd load in 3 months

[@KaritheMortician]

Thank you for listening again Mike!! Travel safely!!

[@davidmilligan9260]

The glass ID tubes in the outer corner..... is there ever anything written in them, or is that just one of those things that 99% of funeral staff ignore? And what information goes in them? Just name of deceased?

[@KaritheMortician]

Yes some staff do ignore

[@kendrahwhyte9960]

Kari Lovely Lady You have beautiful eyes! Conan O'Brien was in Nigeria about a month ago. He was showing a casket made in the form of a turkey. He told the viewing audience that they were the stuffing.

[@KaritheMortician]

oh goodness

[@wowsplat]

Have you heard of the handles of a casket called "huckles"? Researching the truth behind a quote in the movie Tombstone

[@KaritheMortician]

this is on my list of 2 minute videos actually!

[@alanwalker7265]

I am almost absolutely going to end up in a casket similar to this one someday. I don't want to die. Please Lord save my children and family... Please Lord Jesus.

[@erikkaelsbury8986]

We are all going to die. It’s better to be realistic and plan ahead

[@chuckquinn8026]

As I said before, I’m 65 years old and have never seen a split top casket other than in movies or TV. Strange how customs change around the country...

[@KaritheMortician]

I was much older when I saw a full couch

[@aaronsaunders6974]

cove what a cool name

[@BostonSteve922]

I’ve never been to a funeral where I had witnessed the closing of the casket. For the overlay is that used kind of like a blanket when it’s tucked into the casket?

[@KaritheMortician]

Sometimes it is and sometimes just tucked down by the feet

[@snoopy1965]

Excellent video

[@KaritheMortician]

Thank you!

[@craigproctor8602]

How high can you raise and lower the bed part of the casket

[@KaritheMortician]

About 4-5 inches from the egde.

[@mikefoley1266]

Caskets are extremely heavy. Being physically disabled, I have a lot of upper body strength but not enough to lift a heavy wooden box. And oh yeah, I use just my right arm, which is my dominant arm.

[@pam4christ187]

Wow, thanks for the lesson 👏🏾🙌🏾😇

[@KaritheMortician]

You are welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

[@Nemowrestling]

Great video!! I wish i had this last semester

[@KaritheMortician]

dang!

[@bruceliggett8036]

So interesting, do they come with a warranty? Stupid question huh? Lol

[@ryan_torres]

Oddly enough, some do. A few months after my father passed away I got a warranty card in the mail from the Matthews casket co. Kinda was taken aback by it. Can't remember but I think it said 5 years?? I mean, who's going to go check to see if a casket is defective? Also, curious as to how many warranty claims they get?

[@KaritheMortician]

They do, which covers until it is buried

[@spectrumwavesmusic]

Thank you

[@KaritheMortician]

You are welcome!

[@michellepowell2391]

Yay! A new Kari video!

[@KaritheMortician]

I strive for three a week!

[@lauragadille3384]

Interesting. Now the material that is hanging over the casket, is that tucked into the casket before they close the lid for burial? Or is it laid over the body in the casket?

[@ryan_torres]

It gets tucked in around the edge. (I think it's part of the rest of the lining so you can't just pull it off)

[@KaritheMortician]

Yes it is all tucked in

[@pariciaburchfield7265]

I meant cold and blue😭

Biutiful coffin

[@shannon9247]

Valentin Dilier it’s a casket not a coffin 🤗 coffins are like what vampires sleep in lol 🤗

[@matthewr1900]

@@shannon9247 Absolutely correct. Caskets are rectangular and coffins have six-sides, like what Dracula lays in. 😉

[@josediliez7049]

They are all ugly in addition to ugly French casket

[@gewells8098]

Fascinating! I think it would be really interesting to see a coffin and a casket side by side and compare differences. I also would be interested in a more in depth video on different styles and such on caskets. I know you did one a good while back, but the terms are also interesting!

[@KaritheMortician]

I am hoping to tour a casket company and show more

[@lidsman2221]

Does all the cloth around the sides and on the top where the flowers are go into the casket when it is closed for good?

[@ryan_torres]

Yup, it all goes in.

[@KaritheMortician]

Yes it is tucked in

[@russtownsend2898]

Maybe you could get inside it and point out the important parts. While someone closes the lid. How morbid!!!

[@KaritheMortician]

No thanks

[@garysansone2785]

Not till I'm dead😀
