Money - allot of money spent too.
George Washington forbid congress to make him a special monument resting place (he thought they were only after money and didn't want status as a ruler with a statue - after his death Congress broke their promises and spent $$$ anyway).
I don't think every president needs to have (a million?) spent on funeral.
Unless they die while in office, in which case more presence, visibility, and tradition prevents suspicion or resentment by the public.
