Metal Crucifixes and Casket Fittings
Three families in one category
Metal crucifixes and fittings account for 57 catalogue items, in three families: crucifixes and crosses with 30 items, metal ornaments with 9 items, and casket fittings with 18 items. A crucifix carries a figure, a cross does not, and the two are grouped together because they share castings, finishes and mounting, while ornaments are decorative cast pieces and fittings are the metal parts that complete a casket's hardware set.
Most pieces in this category are Zamak #3 die castings, hand polished and plated in gold, nickel, antique brass, antique copper or chrome. Brass is also used for some crucifixes, and the brass crucifix term maps to this category rather than to a separate product line. The finish guide explains how plated colours are matched against a physical sample.
Buyers usually order crucifixes and fittings together with handles, so that the finish matches across the whole casket. A gold handle with a nickel crucifix is a mismatch that is visible at once, and the selection guide therefore treats the casket as a set, even when the order is placed family by family.
What carries a rating and what does not
Metal ornaments are decorative and carry no load rating. That is stated on the ornament family page and repeated here, because ornaments are sometimes mistaken for structural parts. Crucifixes and crosses are mounted fittings, not load-bearing handles, and their product pages do not carry a handle-style load rating.
Casket fittings in this category include the metal parts that support a casket's hardware, and their specifications are model-specific. Where a fitting is part of a load-bearing assembly, such as swing-bar hardware, the load band for heavy cast handles and swing-bar hardware is 200 to 300 kilograms per piece at category level, but the model page governs for any single fitting.
A buyer specifying fittings should therefore confirm the finish and the mounting, and, for any part that forms part of a load path, the model rating. A buyer specifying ornaments should confirm the finish and the size only, since no rating is involved, and should not ask for a load-test record for a decorative piece.
Ordering
The minimum order quantity varies by product and is shown on each product page; no single figure is published for this category. Lead time is typically 30 days after order confirmation, with some models at 35 to 45 days. Payment is by telegraphic transfer or letter of credit, and shipments leave Wenzhou by full or less than container load.
For repeat orders, confirm the finish again. The company profile identifies consistency of colour across repeat orders as a buyer concern, and plated metal colours can shift between runs, so a physical sample is the reliable reference. Certificates are available upon request, with no certificate name, number or issuing body published.
Samples are available for most products before a bulk order. A sample crucifix or fitting lets a buyer check the casting, the plating and the mounting against a real casket, rather than relying on a photograph, which is the point the finish guide makes for every plated product.
Before payment, confirm the model number, material, finish, quantity, lead time and any load-test record for your order with the sales team.
