Do you have a question about the Queen's funeral, King Charles's ascension or what happens next? From Wednesday until Monday, the Queen's closed coffin will rest on a raised platform inside the U.K. Parliament's Westminster Hall. Following a centuries-old tradition for royals, the Queen's coffin is lined with lead, which helps prevent a body from decomposing for longer. The Queen's state funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey on Monday. It will be transported on a gun carriage pulled by navy sailors, with senior members of the Royal Family expected to follow on foot.
