Reburied in St. Petersburg, Russia next to Alexander III, in accordance with her wishes. She had been buried in Denmark.
Wish I had a better image of the arms on the carriage…

I think the flag on the coffin is the imperial flag of Russia (or perhaps rather the czar’s personal flag), a yellow flag charged with the Imperial Arms, i.e. the imperially crowned double-headed eagle charged in the centre with the arms of Moscow and on the wings the arms of the various lands of the Russian Empire. I seem to have seen somewhere that the Empress used a similar flag with a slight swallow-tail, i.e. an indentation in the fly, but cannot recall having seen it, and I could not say if this is the one used here.
As for the re-burial, if I may, I believe that it has not yet actually taken place. On Saturday, the remains of the Empress were removed from Roskilde Cathedral, the main burial church of the Danish Royal Family, about 30 km west of Copenhagen, to a naval ship which is now en route from Copenhagen to St. Petersburg.
In Roskilde, the Empress’s sarcophagus has until now been placed in a special chapel (consecrated - if that is the right word – I believe, according to the Orthodox rite, to which of course the Empress had converted at her marriage to zar Alexander III), in the crypt below the chapel which holds the remains of her parents, King Christian IX and Queen Louise of Denmark among others. I have photos of this special chapel, should anyone be interested, but as a "Welcomed Guest" I am apparently not able to upload it.
The picture in Mark Olivo’s posting shows the carriage carrying the Empress pausing outside the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Alexander Nevskij in Copenhagen on its way to the port. The Russian Orthodox Cathedral and the Royal Palace of Amalienborg, where the carriage also halted, were two places in Copenhagen close to the Empress’s heart.
The naval ship carrying the remains of Empress Maria Feodorovna (or Dagmar, her Danish name, by which Danes tend to know her better), will arrive in St. Petersburg on Tuesday, 26 September, which marks the 140th anniversary of her first arrival in Russia. The coffin will be placed in a chapel at Peterhof Palace before the actual reburial in the Peter and Paul Cathedral on 28 November in the presence of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark.
For those who might be interested in further information on the reburial, the Royal Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has set up a special web site at http://www.reburial.um.dk/en/.
