If you want a big funeral, there's nothing keeping you from spending your money to prepare to have the same. San Francisco's
Green Street Mortuary still has the permits (grandfathered in) to have a brass band parade to accompany your pallbearers in your funeral procession down a good chunk of the city if you want. It's always been popular with locals.
Likewise south of San Francisco there is
Colma, a city of nothing BUT graveyards. You'll find some huge ass monuments there, as well as in
Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland. There are funeral monuments larger than most people's homes.
There isn't some magic formula that only police officers have. It's just money. You get what you pay for, and they have paycheck deductions that pay into an insurance fund to pay for people's day off from work while in uniform as part of their funeral benefit. I have no doubt if I were to go to
mechanical turk or some other insta-work site and offer $100 to each person that dresses in black and mourns at a funeral for a day I would easily get 1000 responses too.
Me, I'd add a dozen women wailing in a
keen to my procession.
