Queen Elizabeth II's coffin has an interesting story behind it. According to the CBC, the beautiful oak coffin was constructed over 30 years ago. The reason why the queen chose to start thinking of her final resting place early was so that she and Prince Philip, her husband of over 70 years, could coordinate final resting places.

Their coffins will be placed together in the Royal Vault, a special final resting space that was created for King George III in the early 1800s and houses many members of the royal lineage (via Insider). Prince Philip's coffin was placed in a temporary spot in the vault but was recently moved to share the space next to his wife, who will be interred following her funeral on Monday, September 19.

The Royal Vault houses many members of the royal family, dating back to the early 1800s. Some of these famous royals include the queen's mother, Queen Victoria's father, the Duke of Kent, and Princess Margaret.
