Finally Richard III tomb, rather than resting over a large white rose — the heraldic symbol of the House of York — will sit on a slab of dark Kilkenny marble, inscribed with the kings name, dates, motto and coat of arms, a wooden coffin sealed inside a tomb made of Swaledale fossil stone in Leicester Cathedral, the dean of the cathedral announced Monday (June 16). The cost of the tomb and interment is estimated at 2.5 million pounds according to Monteith. The kings remains are expected to be reburied in the spring of 2015. Michael Ibsen, a descendant to King Richard IIIs sister Anne of York, will make the kings coffin. m.livescience/46376-king-richard-iii-tomb-unveiled.html
