American funerals $7–10k. Amish $200–500.
Process
Body washed at home, dressed in white. Coffin — simple wood. No embalming.
Farewell
Two days at home. Neighbors bring food. Service 2–3 hours in German.
Burial
Community digs grave. Simple stone, same for all.
Philosophy
Death is part of life. From earth to earth. No business built on grief.
