The British royal family follows a very strict set of traditions in their burial practices. In this video, I explore what is meant by the term 'lead-lined coffin', by looking at the historical evidence for the coffins of the English and British monarchs from the reign of Henry Tudor through to the early nineteenth century

I’m a daughter of a mortician and embalming has got to be the most disrespectful thing you can do to a dead body in my honest opinion, but you explained it well and without being too gross
As a retired American casket manufacturer/ distributor representative, this was expertly presented that leaves little to one’s imagination!
The tone of voice and command of English language of the narrator is admirable!!! Seriously, intelligent talk without sounding snob.
Thanks for such a detailed and informative program. It's interesting to me to learn about how different civilizations prepare their dead for their "afterlife" as it shows a bit about their beliefs.
Im a southern bread country boy who lives in Buckingham Virginia in the United States and Im going to miss the Queen. Just a Beautiful person with a Beautiful soul. Many prayers for her and her family!!!
Absolutely fascinating!! I admit after hearing Queen Elizabeth II was buried in a lead lined coffin that I was very curious about such an old practice still being used. Now I understand the tradition.
Since the passing of the Queen,I can’t get enough of all the history now.
Who knew that the later Stuarts had the equivalent of canopic jars. Fascinating video!
Thanks so kindly for your commentary, details, and everything else! Condolences to all of the UK on HM The Queen's Passing. The World has lost its Granny.
I can't imagine arranging plans for your coffin 30 years ago. Wills and funeral arrangements, life insurance policies etc are such morbid, yet essential, topics to discuss. I was 10 when the plans for her coffin was decided on.
This excellent and informative video reminded me of a limerick I heard/read, I cant recall which, when I was a t school. 'There once was a man named Fred, who awoke in his coffin of lead, "It's cosy enough" he replied with a huff, "But I wasn't aware I was dead"'.
I watched the entire funeral and was awestruck . It was beautiful. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the fascinating video. I must admit to being concerned about the condition of our Queen's body, considering it had been (seemingly) unrefrigerated for 10days. You've now put my mind at rest with the descriptions of the coffin. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
No nightmares here Allan just enjoyment. I am not British but I mourn the Queens passing and watched her funeral from Calif.
Great information and input - thank you 👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
This is undoubtedly the most in-depth analysis on this topic that I have ever seen. Your dedicated research, clear presentation, and remarkable illustrations, held me captive.
Awesome video.. so interesting!
Thank you for such a detailed video. I did wonder why it took so many pallbearers and why they seemed to struggle. Now I know because of you. Great content and great information. Thanks from Canada
That was an incredibly interesting video to watch, thankyou. In 2020 we were in Dublin (we are from Western Australia) and we took a tour beneath the church of St Michel (I think) and the coffins under there were draped in the same red velvet only where they had broken open at the corners you could see old dried legs and feet poking out a bit. There is also a terrific crypt where there is the mummified body of a nun, a crusader and one other that I don’t recall. I find this subject fascinating.
