Funerary practices varied over different dynasties- in the period of Cleopatra, bodies, including the Royals, were cremated ( they had a wake first- or Lying In state) the Cleopatra film was correct on this- this was Greek influence on Egypt. In days of mummies - there was a separate ( Valley of the Queens) of tombs for Queens and Princesses, etc.

rich women were buried in the same way as their husbands-mummified and placed in a tomb or pyramid. In ptolemaic times they were still mummified.
