What part of the casket handle is attached to the lug or arm and is grasped by the casket bearer?

The part of the casket handle that is attached to the lug or arm and is grasped by the casket bearer is known as the bail. The bail is the curved handle that allows the bearer to securely grasp and carry the casket. It is specifically designed to provide a practical grip for those carrying the casket, ensuring stability and support during the process.

The other terms represent different components of the casket's handling system. The arm refers to the structural element that supports the bail and provides attachment points for the casket. The lug is the plate or fitting where the arm is connected to the casket itself, serving as the anchor point for the handle assembly. Therefore, while all these parts play a role in the casket's handle system, the bail is the actual portion that is directly held by the bearer.
