Which term describes an outer enclosure that offers protection for the earth load but without sealing qualities?

• A. Grave Liner
• B. Hardware
• C. Head Panel
• D. Hammertone

Answer: (A)

Understanding how outer burial enclosures work helps here. An outer enclosure that protects the earth load but isn’t sealed is a grave liner. Its job is to form a protective shell around the burial so the soil weight is distributed and the burial pit remains stable; it does not provide an airtight seal. The other terms refer to different parts or finishes of a casket (hardware, head panel) or a surface treatment (hammertone) and do not describe an outer enclosure for earth-load protection.
