"I think it makes small difference to..." - Quote by Euripides
I think it makes small difference to the dead, if they are buried in the tokens of luxury. All that is an empty glorification left for those who live.

More on Death
“Earth laughs in flowers to see her boastful boys Earth-proud, proud of the earth which is not theirs; Who steer the plough, but cannot steer their feet Clear of the grave.”
“Death lies on her like an untimely frost.”
“My house says to me, "do not leave me, for here dwells your past." And the road says to me, "Come and follow me, for I am your future." And I say to both my house and the road, "I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go there is a staying in my going. Only love and death change all things."”
