Answer:

Those with more wealth would be able to afford a better burial. The graves of some craftsmen and workers have been found containing a mummified body as well as bread, fruit, amulets and furniture for the afterlife. Nobles and very wealthy people were often buried in tombs that we call 'mastabas'.

Oftentimes, it would be their most valuable possessions. However, as all should know, the most important and wealthiest often had entire sarcophaguses to themselves.
