Pope again

I'm very impressed with his simple coffin, it was basically a wooden box with a cross on the lid. You could even see the dovetail joins, almost a pauper's coffin.
What's with the sealed zinc coffin in oak casket, though? It's supposed to slow down putrefication but why?

A related question, does anyone know if sea_cucumber made it to Rome?

Cool. I think she'd have been heartbroken if they had turned her away...
