Name two exterior casket materials.

• A. Plastic or glass
• B. Aluminum or titanium
• C. Steel or wood
• D. Fabric or leather

Answer: (C)

Exterior casket materials refer to the shell that makes up the outside of the casket. The two most common exterior options are steel (a durable metal) and wood (a traditional, natural choice). These materials define the shell itself, rather than interior fabrics or decorative coverings. Other options listed aren’t standard for the main exterior: plastic or glass aren’t typical shell materials; aluminum is used in some caskets but titanium isn’t common; fabric or leather are usually used for coverings or interior lining, not the primary exterior shell.
