What will happen to your collection when you're gone?

Or, do you plan on being burried with it? Of course, that would be hard for some of you since it would take 100 coffins (with acid-free and archival top of course). Just something I was pondering on a kinda slow day.

I actually just itemized all of my items 100 dollars or more(2009); marked down what I paid(rough date) and the current market value in my mind. I have scans of everything on a mini zip drive with corresponding numbers as they relate to my spreadsheet. Currently I have it all communicated and willed.
At least this will give a picture and dates associated to my collection's worth. I will try to update the "today's market" column yearly. I HOPE IT GOES WAY UP BEFORE I DIE.
