If there are friends or family with interest - pass those pieces to the person with interest in them.

After all toys are to be enjoyed.

If there is value, make sure she has someone to help selling those pieces (see the first comment). She should get some benefit from putting up with it for all those years.

What's left, make my urn out of, and stick me in there.

Label it with my name and OOP in large letters.

Painting it is optional of course.

Just to re-visit, considering recent gaming developments and scale creep, if whoever ends up with me, in my urn, wants to use me as a Nagash proxy or whatever, I am game.

In recent years I have been the recipient of bits of a number of peoples collections.

The general procedure which seems to work is trusted friend(s) sell the stuff which is worthwhile to contribute to the estate and then divvy up the remainder.

I have trusted friends lined up already to do this, as the last thing my wife would need is to be sorting through my accumulated decades of stuff.

My father (who is still around) is just doing this for one of his friends with end stage cancer. Different hobby, same process.

Wonder what the price would be for JimBibbly to build a mausoleum.
It's that or start casting Hirst Arts blocks now on an industrial scale....
