When speaking about Queen Elizabeth’s coffin back in 2018, Andrew Leverton of Leverton & Sons, which has worked on royal funerals since back in 1991, explained the reason the coffin was made so long ago was because such an ornate and special piece is “not something you can just make in a day” (via Daily Mail). He said that the elements of the coffin are particularly special, explaining, “It is made from English oak, which is very difficult to get hold of. Oak coffins are now made from American oak. I don’t think we could use English oak for a coffin now. It would be too expensive.” The casket is lined with lead, as is royal tradition, because it helps to preserve the body longer.
After the funeral and all related services and ceremonies are completed, the late Queen Elizabeth II will be buried at St George’s Chapel beside her husband Prince Philip.
