Where Are Royal Family Members Buried? All About Queen Elizabeth and Others' Final Resting Places

Queen Elizabeth II was interred at St. George's Chapel, which is where several other royal family members were laid to rest

Following Queen Elizabeth II's death on Sept. 8, 2022, the late monarch was honored by the British royal family and various heads of state at her official state funeral at Westminster Abbey.

After her funeral, which included a committal service alongside King Charles III and other British royal family members, the Queen was laid to rest at the King George VI Memorial Chapel.

The monarch's final resting place is incredibly significant as it's where various other members of the British royal family have been buried over the years, including her parents Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and King George VI.

Additionally, as the Queen was inhumed, Prince Phillip was moved from the Royal Vault beneath St. George's Chapel — where he had been temporarily interred — and put beside his wife of 73 years, per The Telegraph.

Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II died on Sept. 8, 2022 at Balmoral Castle and was eventually transferred to Westminster Hall for her lying in state. Following her state funeral at Westminster Abbey on Sept. 19 — which was the location of the Queen's wedding in 1947 and her coronation in 1953 — Queen Elizabeth was interred at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. More specifically, she was buried at the King George VI Memorial Chapel (pictured below), which the Queen commissioned after her father's death.

St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle is open to visitors on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. — which means people can drop by the Queen's final resting place and pay their respects.

King George VI

King George VI died on Feb. 6, 1952, and his funeral service was later held at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on Feb. 15. Following the service, he was interred in the Royal Vault beneath St. George's Chapel.

After his death, Queen Elizabeth commissioned the King George VI Memorial Chapel in 1962 as a burial place for her father. His remains were eventually transferred to the memorial chapel on March 24, 1969.

Princess Margaret

Following her death on Feb. 9, 2002, Princess Margaret's funeral was held at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on Feb. 15, 2002, which was the 50th anniversary of her father's funeral.

Breaking from royal tradition, the Countess of Snowdon was cremated at Slough Crematorium. Her ashes were originally moved to the Royal Vault in St. George's Chapel before being transferred to the King George VI Memorial Chapel two months later.

King Edward VIII

King Edward VIII, the brother of King George VI who abdicated the throne, died on May 28, 1972. Following his funeral service at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on June 5, 1972, he was buried in the Royal Burial Ground at Frogmore (pictured below).

Wallis Simpson

Edward VIII's wife Wallis Simpson died on April 24, 1986, and her funeral service was held on April 29 at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. She and Edward VIII were originally going to be buried at Green Mount Cemetery in Baltimore, where her father was interred, but through a 1965 agreement with Queen Elizabeth, they were both buried at the Royal Burial Ground.

Princess Diana

Following Princess Diana's tragic death on Aug. 31, 1997, she was honored with a funeral at Westminster Abbey on Sept. 6. That same day, Diana was taken to her final resting place at her childhood home, the Spencer estate in Althorp (pictured below).

She was originally going to be buried at the Spencer family vault in Great Brington, but her brother Charles Spencer later decided to take her to Althorp — as it was easier to be cared for and offered privacy for Prince William, Prince Harry and other relatives who wished to visit her.

George V

George V — King George VI's father and Queen Elizabeth II's grandfather — died on Jan. 20, 1936. Eight days later, George V was interred at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Mary of Teck

King George VI's mother, Mary of Teck (pictured above), died on March 24, 1953, just 10 weeks before her granddaughter Queen Elizabeth's coronation. After her lying in state at Westminster Hall, she was interred beside her husband at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
