The costs were published on Thursday as part of a written statement to Parliament.
“The government’s priorities were that these events ran smoothly and with the appropriate level of dignity, while at all times ensuring the safety and security of the public,” said John Glen, chief secretary to the treasury, in a statement.
Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, were both interred at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
The last royal funeral before that was for Elizabeth’s mother, known as the Queen Mother, in 2002.
She lay in state for three days, and her funeral costs were estimated to be around £5.4 million.
