==Illness and death== [[File:Uitvaart Juliana.ogv|right|thumb|Video of her funeral procession, 2004]] From the mid-1990s, Juliana's health declined as she suffered the progressive onset of [[dementia]]. Juliana did not appear in public after this time. At the order of the Royal Family's doctors, Juliana was placed under 24-hour care. Prince Bernhard said in a television interview in 2001 that the former Queen was no longer able to recognise her family and that she had been suffering from [[Alzheimer's disease]] for several years.<ref>{{in lang|nl}} [http://krant.telegraaf.nl/krant/archief/20010702/teksten/bin.prins.alzheimer.ziekte.html] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141220045951/http://krant.telegraaf.nl/krant/archief/20010702/teksten/bin.prins.alzheimer.ziekte.html|date=20 December 2014}}, Lof na uitspraken prins over Juliana, 2 July 2001</ref> Juliana died in her sleep on 20 March 2004 at the age of 94, at [[Soestdijk Palace]] in Baarn from complications of [[pneumonia]], seventy years to the day after her grandmother, [[Emma of Waldeck and Pyrmont|Queen Emma]].<ref name=dan>{{cite news|last=van der Vat|first=Dan|title=Queen Juliana of the Netherlands|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2004/aug/22/guardianobituaries|access-date=28 January 2013|newspaper=The Guardian|date=22 August 2004|archive-date=25 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220325023254/https://www.theguardian.com/news/2004/aug/22/guardianobituaries|url-status=live}}</ref> She was [[embalmed]], unlike her mother Wilhelmina, who chose not to be, and on 30 March 2004 interred beside her mother in the royal vaults under the [[Nieuwe Kerk (Delft)|Nieuwe Kerk]] in [[Delft]]. The memorial service made her [[ecumenical]] and often highly personal views on matters of religion public. The late Princess, a [[Pastor]] said in her sermon, was interested in all religions and in [[reincarnation]]. Juliana's husband Prince Bernhard died about nine months later aged 93, on 1 December 2004; his remains were placed next to hers. In 2009, an exhibition of portraits of Juliana, and objects from her life, was held at the [[Het Loo Palace]] to mark the centenary of her birth.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.paleishetloo.nl/templates/newsitem/page.asp?iPageId=96&iPageParentId=27|title=Nationaal Museum Paleis Het Loo β Juliana in beeld|publisher=Paleishetloo|date=12 June 1981|access-date=27 September 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120426085738/http://www.paleishetloo.nl/templates/newsitem/page.asp?iPageId=96&iPageParentId=27|archive-date=26 April 2012}}</ref>
