If applicable, which political figure, living within 20-21st century, would you support having a "state funeral" (in the "Thatcher" sense)?
- Would it have military content?
- What would be an acceptable budget?
- Would you show up?
No-one. In the current economic climate I don't believe anyone should be having a ceremonial funeral unless they or their families can afford to pay for it themselves.

I understand your point, but clearly with Thatcher, there was a majority who were happy to pay for a funeral ceremony. Democracy rules, hopefully?
