Abstract: A casket 10 includes a four sided casket box 15 and a lid 16. A pair of appliques 40 may be fitted within a respective recess at the end of each side between a top framing strip 26 and a bottom framing strip 28. The pair of appliques together form a corner covering for each of the four corners of the casket. A pair of side snap members 56, 58, 110 may each be secured to the side adjacent the corner and between the top framing strip and the bottom framing strip. A pair of mating applique snap members 58, 90 may be secured to each applique. Mating engagement of the snap members may be achieved by applying a force perpendicular to a plane of the side 12, 34, thereby reliably mating the snap members and securing the applique to the casket side.
