I'm planning to go.
Somehow just feel I want to.
I'm not one for being in long queues but this has really got to me for some reason.

Ok, but please take care. Bring water and some food with you.

Bots, don't they also bury Royals in lead lined coffins.
Which make it airtight, keeping moisture out.

Hence why 8 pallbearers usually needed for extra weight

here is how embalming is done:

The body is washed with a disinfectant solution and carefully massaged to relax any muscles and joints tensed by rigor mortis. Facial hair is shaved.
The features are set: the eyes and mouth are closed (the techniques for this vary). Cotton padding may be placed in the cheeks to create a more natural expression.
A small cut is made and a strong artery and vein are found (often the jugular vein and common carotid artery, near the collarbone). The embalmer places tubes in both: the artery is used to pump the body with embalming fluid, while the tube running from the vein allows blood to drain out. Once done, the cut is closed once more.
The body is massaged again with a soapy sponge to help the embalming fluid spread evenly. The skin will begin to pinken.
Next comes cavity embalming. The organs are pierced and drained of fluid using a tool called a trocar. They are then filled with extremely strong embalming fluid before the incision is closed. The embalming process is complete!
The deceased is washed once more, and their hair brushed. A moisturising cream is rubbed gently into the face to keep it hydrated.
Ahead of a viewing, the deceased is dressed and make-up is applied.

She probably didnt get any done.

they do, but even so, i'm sure she will have been embalmed, her father was

The coffin is a special one. Moisture does not get out.
It's a lot heavier so they have 8 people carry it.

She's not being viewed.
The coffin is already sealed.

Bots has it right Id say.

Plus Princess Diana's I recall was a lead lined coffin too.

It all slows down considerably any decomposing.

Nobody is going to be poking about the queens naked body so I doubt shes been embalmed..

Seal the smell in with an appropriate coffin, and hope it conceals the smell for the whole week and a half she has to lay there like an exhibition.

I can't remember what it was, but an episode of a police drama I saw the forensic mortician freaked out a gang member by describing what he'd do to his body if the person they wanted evidence on killed him. Might have been SVU, notmsure.

She has been bathed and dressed all her life....I am sure if she wanted to be embalmed she will have been. There is no dignity in death, no matter who you are. The lead lined coffin is airtight which both delays decomposition and also prevents any fluids or smells escaping.

The queen bathes herself, in a tepid bath with water that has to be no more than 7 inches deep.

Good luck with it Joey.

There's nothing wrong with feeling sad at someone passing away, especially considering the person in question has been a huge public figure for 70 years.
