The remains of her husband, Prince Philip, will be placed next to the monarch’s coffin
Monday (19), at the end of the funeral ceremony in the majestic Chapel of S.
It will be placed on a stone table. It will stay there for days, weeks, maybe months. The decision rests with King Charles III.
The 10-day farewell and lack of haste in placing the monarch at his final destination explain the zinc-coated wooden coffin.
The material isolates the corpse from the action of external organisms and humidity. Helps prolong the preservation of the embalmed body.
When it is decided to bury the queen, the coffin will be placed in a stone chamber at ground level (similar to the grave in a park cemetery), in a small chapel to the right of the church nave.
The remains of Elizabeth’s husband, Prince Philip, who died in April 2021 at the age of 99, will be moved to the site.
The two, married for 73 years, will rest side by side for eternity.
In a room of the same chapel are the remains of the sovereign’s father, King George VI (died 1952), Queen Mother Elizabeth (who died in 2002), and the ashes of her only sister, Princess Margaret, who also died in 2002..
The final part of the ceremony, after the queen’s urn has disappeared underground, will not be broadcast on TV. Privacy with a touch of mystery is part of the ritual.
The same happens with the popes: the transport of the coffin into the crypt chamber of St. Peter’s Basilica takes place away from the eyes of the press and the public.
As suddenly and tourists will never be able to visit Elizabeth II’s tomb at Windsor Castle, tributes will take place around statues of the monarch that will soon be built in every corner of the UK.
