If people in the UK call their mothers "Mum," and children in the UK call their mothers, "Mummy," then what is the UK word for mummy (a human or animal, which has been dead for some time, yet preserved with tightly woven bandages)?

True Fact: The Mummy Room at the British Museum is the worlds largest collection of mothers. They stand behind glass cases and tell passers by to not wear their coats inside or you wont feel the benefits...
