Question for those who are paying attention: is the queen’s body being interred in a crypt or a vault or do they have an underground catacomb as stylized in movies?

After the funeral, her body will be transported by hearse to Windsor Castle, where she will be interned with her husband, Prince Philip.

Her Majesty will be buried in the floor of the King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle.

There is an underground vault under St George’s Chapel in the same castle which is used for some internments. The Duke of Edinburgh was interred there last year, but he will be moved to lie alongside his wife and Queen.

And another question: Is using the word “coffin” instead of “casket” common in England? Because I think casket is more commonly used here.
