I would think that a casket lining would be fairly stiff satin, not soft chiffon. It also looks like it could be ruffled. That could certainly appear to create angles from a distance!
In the image from your website titled “Hundreds bid a fond farewell to Loretta Fuddy” you can see a hinge on the left side of the casket, just above your red line. The picture is not good enough to see if fabric from the other side is shielding the hinge from the viewers.
And, of course, the fabric shielding the hinge was probably adjusted when the casket was brought to the front of the church for the funeral service, so it could have differed in appearance from the viewing.
So, again, the same casket. And certainly not a non-existent 2-tier casket!
(For someone so proud of her research regimen, you didn’t even do any research on caskets, did you? You just made up the idea of 2-tier caskets then stated it like they actually existed.)
Good grief. If you knew how many caskets I’ve looked at in the past 3 days you’d realize what a silly thing you’ve suggested.
Look at the fabric on the “hands” photo. It’s not stiff in the slightest. I actually question whether that could be the same kind of fabric as is in the Diocese photo.
You’re just arguing circles around the clear angles I’ve pointed out. Drapery cloth doesn’t stand up straight like that. I don’t know what that is, but it stands up straight and stiff enough to make clearly-defined angles in the photo we know is from the funeral but not in either of the others. That is just a fact.
If they were going to hide a hinge it would be even more important to do so while people were passing by so that nobody bumped the hinge, got caught on it, etc.
But then, that casket with the mourners passing by also has the wrong kind of flowers. The casket in the Diocese photo has a particular arrangement on the open lid: white wreath in the middle with greenery swags on each side, and a pink wreath hanging straight down on the very end of the lid. The KITV image with the mourners at the front of the church has a white wreath looped widely around the corner of the casket lid. Different profile, different wreath and placement of it, different pall, different kind of lining fabric...
