More Information
Summary:Casket hardware which may be quickly connected and disconnected without the use of tools and without necessitating access to the inside of the casket. The casket hardware essentially includes a mounting plate having an upper leg including a casket handle mount and a lower leg including a slot opening to one end of the plate. The slot is shaped to receive a wooden pin or dowel extending across a groove contained in an inner side of a base portion of the casket while a lower portion of the plate supports the casket base portion. The end of the lower leg is bent in a "U" shape to fit within the groove such that the slot may be aligned with the pin or dowel. The slot includes an open end portion for initially receiving the pin or dowel and a closed end portion in which the pin or dowel is restrained when the support plate is attached to the casket. An intermediate portion of the slot extends transversely between the open and closed end portions.
