What other details of Elizabeth's coffin are you curious about?

You're using coffin and casket interchangably. They're similar but not the same. A coffin is 6 sided and shaped to accommodate a human body. A casket is rectangular. Queen Elizabeth's is a coffin.

Her coffin is made with Scottish Oak. 🙏 May she Rest in Peace 😞

No different from the pharaoh's planning for their funeral with building a pyramid when they ascended the throne.

Queen Elizabeth's coffin was transported from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey today on top of the 123-year, 5600-pound Royal Navy State Funeral Gun Carriage. The converted ordinance transport first appeared at a royal funeral when it was used to transport Queen Victoria's coffin in February 1901. It was subsequently used to carry the coffins of King Edward VII, King George V, King George VI, Winston Churchill, and Lord Mountbatten.

Allan Barton channel has a video on Queen Elizabeth II 's coffen and info on other Royal's coffens. 😁
The Queen's coffin was actually made many years ago of Oak and her body is incased in lead that looks like a mummy.
It makes the coffen very heavy, as she's put in a coffen within a coffen type thing that's also lined with lead.
Makes the coffin like 600 or more pounds when you add the body weight, then add the medal plate stuff put on the coffen to state the identity of the person in the coffin.
I'll watch this video now to see if I can learn anything new. 🤘👻💖

Enough English Oak fell in the storm of '87 to provide enough wood for Centuries.

It's not the cough that carries you off. It's the coffin they carry you off in.

A hearse, during a winter storm, is carrying a man's body to the cemetery at the top of a hill. Unfortunately, the hearse hit a bad bump in the road, causing the coffin to slide out the back. Hitting some ice, the coffin slides down the hill, and through the front door of a pharmacy. "Can I help you?" asks the near sighted pharmacist. "I need something to help me stop my coffin" replied the dead man.

It was Operation Unicorn because she died in Scotland. Operation London Bridge was for if she died in England.

I'm curious as to how The Queen was dressed in the coffin.

It does seem odd that a woman approx 5' tall would be buried in a coffin that is approx 7'-8' long ....not to mention it is unusually wide and deep as well
