Summary:The present invention relates generally to caskets, and, more specifically, to apparatus for attaching decorative corner trim pieces to the corners of a casket. An ornamental corner piece for attachment to a casket includes a back plate which is adapted to mount to the corner of a casket. An attachment clip is operatively mounted within an elongated groove in the back plate. The clip member has at least one keyhole groove comprising an opening and a slot. An ornamental corner insert with at least one attachment member selectively slidingly engages the keyhole groove in the attachment clip such that the ornamental corner insert may be selectively mounted to or removed from the back plate. The attachment clip includes an indexing member. When the attachment clip is installed, the indexing member extends into a throughhole in the elongated groove in the back plate. The indexing member properly orients the attachment clip in the elongated groove.
