Huh. So I assumed that when Fritz and FW forbade it, it was part of their joint refusal to participate in royal rituals. Unlike Fritz, FW wanted an actual funeral, but embalming was expensive, and I assumed that was part of why he didn't want that. (He may also have had religious reasons, I'm not sure about his particular beliefs.)

Fritz, as we all know (contra Manger and Kletschke), wanted a simple funeral because he believed death was the end, and he wanted to be buried like a philosopher, not a king. I always assumed "no embalming" was part of that.

But SD. Huh. I would have assumed she would have gone full-blown royal treatment! Maybe it was modesty/squeamishness.
