Buying a grave or memorial, creating our last will and testament, giving the details of our wishes for our estate after the death or pre-paying our funeral plans sounds morbid to all of us but it's very common and quite thoughtful to the beloved people who remain. Royal funerals are a big and complicated business. They're planned and carried out by funeral directors and undertakers to the royal family. Royal undertakers also have to abide by strict procedures following the death of a member of the royal family as they rapidly mentioned here. Funeral preparation follows a set code of conduct, which includes a procession with a gun carriage and military contingents that dates back several centuries
Also costs the public in millions. Why is such ancient custom neccessary when they should have the priviledge of mourning in private without all that showbix stuff.
All close members of the royal family have to set out a plan of their funeral , Diana had chosen all the hymns, music, Bible readings, for her funeral. The Queen mother when she still lived at Clarence House use to like to get up in the early hours of the morning and watch when they would practice her funeral. ( she did live to just a few months of being 102). The only things that change over time for all these plans would be when friends would die first, or what world leaders were up too. !? Charles and Camilla ,William,Anne etc will all have their choices written down.
Imagine!! What a shocking way to start your day 😮! QE had no idea this was going on? She probably thought, "Ummm. Do they know something I don't know"! LoL 😅.
It's a matter if you're blessed with time and resources. These are discussions you need to have with those who remain. I'm only 40, and I have everything ironed out. Location and all. My parents died suddenly, and my parents left their wills and burial insurances but conflicting wishes, and they left a lasting guilt with my siblings if we got the final bow out right. Even if you have no one, someone still needs to know. That and just your religious customs alone dictate a lot of burial traditions Death is the debt we all pay
They buried a queen. No need to talk about the person she was: she spent her whole life in public, everybody knew her and her sense of duty spoke for her.

Alexander the great was burried with his hands outside the coffin, to show that money doest matters when we die, while this woman put toy soldiers on a mockup
Why? We will all die one day and if you can help your grieving family by organising as much as possible beforehand.. why not do it? And we are not talking about any funeral but a queen's. The world watched and grieved the day they buried her.
it is rather haunting and fascinating that they used an audio snippet of the real-life funeral procession @2:22
Was that from the real thing? Jeez!

@@saraswatkin9226 They do. The private family service was the third one of the day.
The actor holding the green book was the villain in Jumanji and was in Titanic. Such a good actor! 🎉
Well Ma'am we can report to you, all went well. It was so moving and impressive. Godspeed.
when the queen was looking at this model this is Exactly what she got when she died in 2022 must of taken along time to set this model up.

It had been going on for years but Things started to get locked down around this time.
this is the beauty of English shows
Cadbury from RICHIE RICH is the funeral planner 😮
From the same episode, could you please bring us the scene when HM was watching her old Home Movie Collection and fell asleep?
Yes, please! Such a melancholic scene
Hi!

Rather morbid planning your own funeral!
most people do?
What you call morbid, most call practical. It takes pressure off the surviving family members.
americans always afraid to death.

And the actual funeral was excessive. Not one word about who she was as a person. They buried a being, but not a human one.
Because Elizabeth Windsor died decades ago. There was only Elizabeth Regina.

@@Stylographic And yet she was also a mother, a grandmother, aunt etc. Nothing about that. Odd.
