The casket is designed by a firm called Henry Smith known for doing the same for her husband Prince Philip, along with celebrities such Freddie Mercury and Jimi Hendrix.
The Queen's English oak coffin was made at least 32 years ago and is lined with lead in accordance with royal family customs. The lead lining assists the body to last longer after the burial in a crypt. Lead is said to make the casket airtight, thereby helping to stop moisture from getting in. It matches another made for the late queen's husband, Prince Philip, who died last year and was interred at the crypt where she will soon be buried alongside him.
