"Jane died on October 24th 1537; her funeral took place on November 12th. She was embalmed and laid out encoffined in lead in the presence chamber until October 31st when she was moved to Hampton Court Chapel to lie in state until November 12th the day of the funeral; after which she was taken in solemn procession (Mary Tudor who grieved intensely for this stepmother, led the procession as chief mourner; the Tudor rulers did not attend funerals) to Windsor and on November 13th, Queen Jane was interred in a vault beneath St. George's Chapel. The funeral rites concluded with a requiem Mass on November 14th. Henry did not put off mourning for Jane until February of 1538, a relatively long time for a man who abhored any tokens of death."

"Henry VIII also made his court go into mourning. I heard that while some people felt that his mourning process was much too long, people was afraid to mention it to him. Thomas Howard , the duke of Norfolk was really upset over Jane's death. I think the reason Henry mourn Jane for so long, is because he wasn't just mourning Jane but Queen Katherine as well. Henry spent half of his life with Queen Katherine, and never allowed himself to mourn for her. so he was mourning the lost of two queens."
