Where does napoleons remains rest today?

Answer 1

His tomb is Dome des Invalides in Paris France. Napoleon died May 5 and on May 6 an autopsy was done and he died of cancer. His heart and stomach were removed and placed in silver vessels filled with wine. He was dressed in his uniform, hair shaved off to be given to his family, and a death mask made. His body and the vases were placed in a tin casket lined with white satin. This was soldered shut and placed in a mahogany casket and screwed shut. This then was placed inside a lead casket which was also sealed shut. On May 9 the whole works were put in a fourth casket made of mahogany and sealed with silver headed iron screws. On May 9 a mass and service for the dead were done and he was buried in Geranium Valley at the foot of willows near a spring. The grave was about 10 feet deep and lined with brick. His casket was lowered and the tomb was sealed with an enormous stone, topped by bricks, cement, clay, and more stones. His body remained here for 19 years. In 1840 his grave was opened and the four caskets opened and the body examined. After confirming it was him the caskets were closed and sealed then placed inside a new ebony casket which was locked and put in an oak case to protect the ebony. It was then moved to Paris by ship.
