If Everilda herself was unremarkable, the other contents of her coffin were interesting. Her eccentric husband had buried her with the full military uniform he had worn on their wedding day, 30 April 1839. He had laid two pairs of trousers across her legs, draped his military jacket across her chest and placed his forage cap near her head and his boots near her feet. The uniform was passed into the skilled curatorial hands of the National Army Museum and Everilda was duly cremated along with the other occupants of the crypt.
