What transfer container is described as a wooden tray/base with a cardboard covering used for shipping the casket by common carrier?

• A. Air tray
• B. Wooden casket
• C. Cardboard tray
• D. Transfer case

Answer: (A)

Shipping containers for caskets rely on structure that balances protection with weight. An air tray fits this description: it uses a wooden tray or base to support the casket, and a cardboard covering to encase and protect it during transit by common carrier. This combination keeps the container lightweight and economical while still providing necessary protection for shipping. It isn’t a wooden casket itself, which is the main coffin, nor is it a tray made entirely of cardboard, which wouldn’t provide the same strength. A transfer case is a different type of rigid outer container used for heavier or more protective shipping, not the wooden base with a cardboard cover described here. So the container described is the air tray.
