A Burial in Ancient Egypt
After the elaborate mummification procedure had come to an end, the mummy inside its coffin began its final journey to its tomb - it house for eternity.

The story of the burial depends upon records left by royalty, courtiers, high officials and those wealthy enough to be able to afford a grand burial, little is known of the burials given to the ordinary Egyptians.

The day of the Funeral

Friends, family and professional mourners would gather at the home of the deceased, here they would begin the long procession to the tomb carrying items to accompany the deceased in the Beyond, and to show their grief.
