What is the optional decorative hardware attached to the corners of the casket body panel called?

The term "decorative corner" accurately describes the optional decorative hardware that is attached to the corners of a casket body panel. This hardware serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose, enhancing the overall look of the casket while reinforcing the corners. The use of decorative corners contributes to the visual appeal of the casket, often reflecting the craftsmanship and attention to detail that is central to casket design.

While the other terms may seem relevant, they are not commonly used terminology in the funeral industry context to describe this specific feature. "Corner brackets," for instance, typically refer to hardware that supports structural integrity rather than focusing on decorative aspects. Similarly, "corner plates" and "corner decorations" do not specifically capture the essence of what is fundamentally understood as decorative corner hardware within this context. Thus, "decorative corner" is the most accurate term to describe this aspect of casket design.
