I read a report that said the only jewelry she was buried with was her Welsh gold (tradition) wedding band from Phillip and a pair of pearl earrings her Mom gave her when she was 18.

Call my ghoulish if you will, but does anyone else wonder what the Queen is wearing in her coffin?  

Is she in one of her colorful coats with matching hat and little black handbag on her arm.  Or perhaps they dress her in some kind of shroud?  Maybe she's covered with a brocade blanket of some sort?  What else?

I don't suppose there's any reference, not even Google, that would have this information.  It's probably secret.

I doubt about the hat, and purse. I'm sure she won't be shopping. I didn't wonder about her attire, but did wonder if there would be a  museum of her wonderful hats. They were all so magnificent.

I've never given it a thought; but then again I've never been enamoured by the royal family.

She had a couple of long white gowns she had worn more than once, so I would guess that one or another similar, and perhaps a Garter robe or another robe of state, maybe gloves too and dress shoes.  

She will be entombed as the Queen, and if someone in later years has reason to check on her, there will be no mistake she was QEII.  Perhaps sentimental items as well or notes from some, but she will I would bet a lot of money be buried looking like the Queen. No precious crown jewels, but certainly clothing.

I've always assummed kings & queens (no matter the country) were buried w/a crown on their heads.

I would think these arrangements are settled way before the actual death. Maybe she is being buried in a favorite outfit, maybe she is buried in her garb she had on when she first became Queen

@Sooner   I think your wardrobe choices are spot-on.  The outfit you suggest would be perfect.
