I think it was a practical move in that Mary I was originally in that spot, so Elizabeth's coffin could be added on top and then the tomb built over the vault. With regards to why there is no effigy for Mary I, I would think that was because Mary had died over forty years ago and had only reigned for five years.
The Queen will be buried with her late husband Prince Philip in the King George VI Memorial Chapel.
Before the Queen's coffin was lowered into the royal vault in St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, a crown, orb and sceptre were removed.

The Queen will be buried within the King George VI Memorial Chapel, named after her father who died in 1952. She will join her father and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, who died 20 years ago, as well her sister Princess Margaret, who had her ashes placed in the chapel after her death in 2002.

Each item was expertly fastened to Her Majesty's coffin to prevent the crown jewels from moving as they proceeded between locations during the event. The practice prevented the crown jewels from being damaged, as they have been in the past.

What happens after the funeral? After the funeral in Westminster, the Queen's coffin will be transferred to Windsor Castle, where there will be a committal service in St George's Chapel. She will be buried in the castle's King George VI Memorial Chapel, alongside her father, her mother, and her sister's ashes.

How much did Kate Middleton inherit from Queen Elizabeth II? Radar Online reported in September 2022 that was Kate was expected to inherit $110 million in jewelry from the Queen after her death. The collection includes 300 personal pieces of jewelry that belonged just to the Queen and not the Crown.
Estimated to be worth up to £1 million, the glimmering pearls will now pass down to her daughter, Princess Anne, who was seen sporting the piece not long ago.
The Crown Jewels are only allowed to be touched by three people in the world. These people are: the monarch, the Crown Jeweller and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
It's likely that the monarchy will try to retain staff and place them within other households, but of course, this could result in some redundancies. The royal website also lists no current vacancies, suggesting there could be a pause on recruitment at this time.
