What R your house rules for dead PCs' replacements?

I get the impression that a lot of DM's don't have a written rule and that probably leads to a lot of bad blood when PC's die and differen't on-the-spot rulings are made for different players.

BTW, ours are:
1. Items buried with PC
2. New PC minimum of same level with equivalent gear

Mine is you can make a new character same level, with standard gear of that level, if the party keeps none of the previous gear (IE, you're not being rewarded for dying) or you can join up at the same level with no gear, and keep your old gear as party loot.

Basically, it's very much in the lines of my first rule at the table: Don't be a Douche.
