At Mortlake you have three choices for the committal of the coffin. The curtains can close around the coffin, the doors at the rear of the catafalque, upon which the coffin rests, can open and the coffin can be manually wound from view or the coffin can remain until everyone has left the chapel. Either way the coffin is eventually received in an ante-room whose walls are adorned with tiles depicting the four seasons. From there it is transferred on a raised bier to the crematory.
