It was a great honor to be dead in Ancient Egypt.
1. You get a new house (Tomb) and new furniture (never used).
2. You get new possessions, better than anything you had in life.
3. People whom you never met cry for you and throw dust over their heads in your honor.
4. It [funeral] helps the local economy, and gives people work.
5. It [funeral] lasts 70 days, longer than any normal holiday.
6. You get free food & drink offerings.
7. You are the envy of the Otherworld.
