Why Was The Queen's Coffin Lead Lined?

On Monday 19th September 2022, Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest in Windsor Castle following her funeral procession. She was a Queen who reigned for over 70 years and was the second longest reigning monarch in History. However during her funeral, it took 8 men at all times to carry her coffin due to the immense weight of it. This was as it was lead lined, and this was done to preserve her remains in an air tight coffin for centuries to come. Using lead lined coffins was a tradition of the monarchy and the royal family, and it has been done for centuries. It was said that one English King was disinterred and his remains were immaculate 400 years after his death. But what shocked many was the sheer weight of the coffin, that it needed 2 more bearers to carry the Queen's coffin. Join us today as we look at, 'Why Was The Queen's Coffin Lead Lined?'
