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.
