In a showroom with other merchandise displayed as models, it is permissible to have a non-ornamented casket with no fixed lining shown only as a photo if the photo is visible.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It is required to have a physical display
• D. It can be represented by a poster instead

Answer: (B)

The important idea here is that showroom merchandising of caskets requires a real, physical display rather than relying solely on a photograph. Customers need to see and, if allowed, handle the actual item to accurately assess finish, hardware, interior lining, and overall construction. A photo of a non-ornamented casket with no fixed lining does not provide that in-person inspection, so it does not meet typical display requirements. Representing the item only with a poster or a photo similarly falls short of the necessary physical display. For the display to meet standard practice, a tangible sample or model must be present in the showroom.
