A gasket sealed container used as either an insert into a casket or as a shipping case?

• A. A Ziegler case
• B. Casket insert
• C. Shipping case
• D. Gasket sealed container

Answer: (A)

Think about a gasket-sealed packaging that can serve two roles in funeral service: it can be placed inside a casket as an interior insert, or used on its own as a shipping case. The term that identifies this versatile design is the Ziegler case. Its gasket seal protects contents and helps control moisture and odor, while its dimensions are suitable for both functions—fitting inside a casket and acting as a separate shipping container. A casket insert by itself doesn’t function as a shipping container, and a generic shipping case isn’t designed to be used inside a casket. A gasket-sealed container without the specific designation wouldn’t convey this dual-use capability. So the Ziegler case best captures the idea of a gasket-sealed container that can serve either role.
