Is it permissible to use only a photo to represent the non-ornamented casket in a showroom?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It is permissible if the photo is part of a model display
• D. It is not permissible to use only a photo to represent the non-ornamented casket

Answer: (D)

In showroom practice, the key idea is that customers must be able to assess the actual product, not just rely on an image. A photograph cannot convey all crucial details such as precise dimensions, finish texture, interior lining, and hardware, nor can it reveal how the casket feels or behaves in person. Using only a photo to represent the non-ornamented casket can mislead and fails to provide an accurate, tangible representation of what is available. Even if a model or photo is part of a display, it still doesn’t replace the need to present the real casket for proper inspection. Therefore, the correct stance is that it is not permissible to use only a photo to represent the non-ornamented casket.
