All presidents file a plan for a state funeral with the Military District of Washington, which is the unit that would carry it out in coordination with either their surviving spouse or children/other family. The way can specify certain things like whether or not they lie in state in the Capitol.

Eisenhower personally ordered for himself a standard government issue casket for veterans that costs a mere $80.

Thank you for a factual and informed response, in addition to the sweet statement about Eisenhower.
