Where is Nelson buried ?
His body lies in a sarcophagus in the crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. It is directly beneath the ornate dome and occupies the central position among the tombs and memorials of the great and famous in British history, some of whom were brother officers who had served under his command. Nelson’s body lies in a coffin made from the planks of the French flagship “L’Orient” which had exploded at the Battle of The Nile in 1798. This coffin is contained within a lead casing inside the sarcophagus.
