Queen Elizabeth II's coffin has a unique material
Material and process
Outer layer oak
The outer layer of the coffin is made of English oak, which has a special symbolic significance in the British royal family. Due to the scarcity of English oak resources, some coffins even use pure English oak from Sandringham Manor, highlighting their noble status.
Inner lead plate
The inner layer of the coffin is embedded with lead plates weighing hundreds of pounds, which can block air and moisture, delay the decomposition of the body, and prevent the spread of odors. Its sealing is comparable to that of a "royal pickle cellar", allowing the body to be preserved for centuries.
Brass handle
The coffin adopts brass handles designed more than 30 years ago, and the details reflect the refinement and inheritance of royal craftsmanship.
Design and Cultural Connotation
Religious and Historical Elements
The coffin design incorporates the religious traditions and historical symbols of the British royal family, such as the possible carving of royal badges, crosses, and other patterns, reflecting respect and religious beliefs towards the Queen.
size and shape
The coffin size conforms to the traditional specifications of the British royal family, with a traditional rectangular shape and a solemn and dignified overall style.
Weight and transportation
The coffin weighs over 500 pounds and requires 8 Royal Guard guards to carry it. Its heaviness not only symbolizes the queen's status, but also reflects the coffin's strength and anti-corrosion properties.
Function and Storage
Corrosion Resistance
Lead coffins can effectively prevent the decay of corpses, allowing them to be preserved in church underground tombs for many years without emitting odors. This tradition can be traced back to the Victorian era.
Storage environment
The coffin was ultimately buried at the George VI Memorial Church in Windsor Castle, adjacent to the ashes of members of the royal family such as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, following the burial tradition of the British royal family's "family reunion".
