I appreciate your point.
A statue of Justice Ginsburg is planned to be erected in Brooklyn.
I haven't read final funeral/memorial plans, except that she will lie in repose in the Supreme Court building for two days. There likely will be an outdoors viewing where the public can pay their respects while social distancing.

A two-day public commemoration would be somewhat out of the ordinary — Justices Antonin Scalia, William J. Brennan Jr., John Paul Stevens and even Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist all lay in repose for one day, said Barbara A. Perry, the director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center. Justice Warren E. Burger lay in repose for only 12 hours.
Justice Ginsburg was deeply identified with her Jewish faith and did not sit in court on High Holy Days, even though she was not particularly observant and rarely attended services, former clerks said.
Jewish custom would mean that Justice Ginsburg would have to be buried on Monday, but Judaism is also flexible on matters of burial, and a rabbi could preside over a private funeral days later.
I hope the lying in repose is short ( I know people want to pay tribute) but Jewish faith prohibits embalming and the longer the wait til burial the greater the decomp ( even in a refrigerated area) I don't want visitors last memory to be of an unpleasant odor.
This morning, the Draft-Dodger-in-Chief "paid respects" (yeah, right) to Justice Ginsburg at the top of the Supreme Court steps. When the crowd of mourners at the bottom of the steps began to chant "Vote him out," he turned tail and ran.
Today, Justice Ginsburg "Lies in State" in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, the first woman and first Jewish person to be given that honor. When her personal trainer stopped at her casket this morning, he got down on the floor beside her and did three push-ups in respect.
