When one dies all their equipment, plus the contents of their inventory, is preserved in a Tombstone death marker. The player is resurrected back to life in the last bed they claimed as a spawn point, completely void of equipment and food buffs. What I do is place a regular wooden chest as a footlocker at the foot of every bed I construct. If that bed is a regular choice of my spawn point, the chest contains at least 1 of the 3 highest level food choices I can cook. In the same chest or in a designated nearby chest (or armour stand), there will be a small assortment of equipment with which to re-equip my character in case of death. The equipment will either be copies of the highest level equipment I can make, or it will be the previous level of equipment my character was wearing. Armour stands can also be used to inventory equipment now in one's bedchamber, serving a double purpose in that they also provide 1 comfort level to a player's rest level.
If I died in a safe location, I will often eat 1 of each food type, then go retrieve the contents of my tombstone. In most instances (because dying is a rare event for me as a veteran player) I will fully equip my character, and carry other items in my inventory to be used in construction of a distance portal base. I prefer not to destroy my Tombstone by completely emptying it of its contents, rather I use that Tombstone as a remote inventory bank. As long as a Tombstone contains at least one item it will remain in the world forever. I use these Tombstones to store stacks of building construction items. It is nice to have a maximum slot Tombstone acting as a chest which a player can use to empty their character's inventory of items they are farming in the wilderness. A word of caution though, if when clicking on the Tombstone one has room enough in their inventory to reclaim all the items in the Tombstone, it will automatically empty the Tombstone, which will in turn destroy the Tombstone, thus it can no longer be used as wilderness chest for storage. It is also a good idea to mark these Tombstone locations on one's map with a map icon and text other than a skull.
