Mm, yes and I remember I first heard the word #catafalque at the burial of Winston Churchill. 'Pa' is quite common - I called my very tiresome mother-in-law 'Mama'.
But coronated! That's a completely new one on me... sounds more sonorous than 'crowned' I suppose?
More random funeral info... the podium that the coffin gets put on is called a #catafalque. There are usually rollers on it to help the bearers slide the #Coffin on smoothly.
