When Empress Zita of Austria her funeral was given sanction by the Government and many politicians, state officials and international representatives,
along with a representative of the pope.
While technically not a state occasion it is close.
Was the ceremonial burial of the remains of Czar Nicholas II and his family a state funeral or a state occasion?
