St Bernadette was buried at Nevers, France, at the convent where she lived and died. A few years after she died her body was dug up in preparation for part of the canonization process. While all her clothing had decayed, her body was incorrupt. The body was cleaned and reclothed. For the final stages of canonization, the body was again dug up. It was still in relatively good condition. It should have completely decayed years before. This time the body was taken to the convent at Nevers, France, again washed and then covered with wax to hide blemishes, reclothed and is now on display in the chapel of the convent.
