You're right, it seems a bit disrespectful- whether they are actually George and Isabel or not- to keep human remains in a glass case.Katarzyna Ogrodnik-Fujcikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415905019122111675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933105074141988999.post-89862070426485116782013-04-20T09:24:01.390-07:002013-04-20T09:24:01.390-07:00Thanks Susan and Kasia for your comments.

George had no tomb built for his remains - he and his duchess were buried in a vault, and I presume the coffins were damaged in a flood. I have to say I think it a bit disrespectful that their remains are merely placed in a glass case. I think they deserve a proper burial. I have no idea when the grill is opened, if ever, to visitors. As I mentioned, there is some dispute as to whether the bones are actually George and Isabel. Interesting to note, whatever happened to George, the bones, if his,show no sign of beheading..
