The typical American style casket has a rectangular (square, "box like") shape with relatively straight sides and carrying bars instead of single handles. The domed lid is usually divided in two parts which are hinged to the base (body) of the casket. Both the inside of the base of the casket and of the is equipped with a textile lining. Most American metal casket have a gasket which provides a hermetical (air and water tight) seal to the casket.
