Ancient Greek historian Herodatus and other sources record the culture-wide phenomena of mummification in ancient Egypt. The poor, and commoners were indeed able to access the process. I'm not sure where this notion that it was not available to the poor comes from? Yes, they had an inferior process, but even Ancient Egyptian pets were mummified to accompany their owners to the afterlife.
