What is referred to as the support upon which a casket rests in the selection room?

The correct answer is the term commonly known as the casket stand. This equipment is specifically designed to provide a stable and secure support for caskets during viewings and selections in the funeral home’s selection room. It allows for easy accessibility for both the funeral staff and the families viewing the caskets.

The use of a casket stand is essential in ensuring that the casket is presented at an appropriate height and angle for viewing, thereby enhancing the visual display and allowing family members to make their selections comfortably.

While other options may relate to different aspects of funeral services or equipment, they do not specifically serve the function of supporting a casket in the selection room. A church truck is typically used for transporting caskets, a display platform may refer more generally to any surface used for exhibit purposes that may not be specifically designed for caskets, and a mortuary table is generally used for preparing bodies rather than for displaying caskets. Thus, the casket stand is uniquely suited for its supportive role during the selection process.
