Hatchment of Queen Elizabeth, Queen Consort of King George VI, known, during the reign of her daughter Queen Elizabeth II, as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

Scottish Shield only on funerary hatchment. The coat is per pale, to dexter the arms of the United Kingdom as used in Scotland (for her husband, King George VI); to sinister, quarterly, I and IV argent, a lion rampant azure langued and armed gules within a double tressure fleury-counter-fleury of the second (for Lyon), II and III, ermine three bows strings palewise proper (for Bowes), her paternal arms.

The entire background is black, as is appropriate for a widow (had she predeceased her husband, the hatchment would have been black on the sinister side only). The addition of the years of birth and death, and of the initial of the deceased, is unconventional on a hatchment.
