What is the aesthetic covering for the foot cap or inner foot panel of a casket referred to as?

The term that refers to the aesthetic covering for the foot cap or inner foot panel of a casket is known as an overlay. The overlay serves both functional and decorative purposes, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the casket's interior. It is typically made from a softer fabric that complements the design and color of the casket, providing a luxurious finish and comfort for the deceased.

The foot panel, while a component of the casket's interior, specifically refers to the actual part of the casket that is located at the foot end and is not a term for the covering itself. The base cover refers to the lower sections of the casket and is not specifically about the aesthetic fabric that covers the foot area. The term innermost fabric might suggest an interior layer but does not specifically relate to the outer aesthetic overlay that would be visible and contribute to the casket’s overall design.
