In Britain, leading members of the royal family get a 'royal ceremonial funeral', though only sovereigns and their consorts get a state funeral in the strict sense. (In 1997 Princess Diana was given something very close to a state funeral). A handful of former politicians are also given state funerals, though it is extremely rare. The most recent was that of Winston Churchill in 1965.
