It is not ritual. They commit suicide because they do not want to face the shame of defeat. But, they still commit suicide but only for shameful reasons

How much does it cost to perform a ritual suicide?

Suicide is not usually performed in a ritual manner, but if it is, the cost would depend upon the kind of ritual that you wished to use. If you wanted to perform the Japanese ritual disembowelment known as hara-kiri, possibly you might wish to buy an authentic Japanese sword for the purpose, but then, you could also perform this type of ritual suicide with any other large knife at your disposal. If you want a Satanic ritual, you might have to invest in some black candles, which is a minor expense. But really, rituals can be of many types and many costs. Self-immolation on a barge, on top of a pile of logs, could be quite pricey (also very painful). The only thing we can say for certain, is that ritual suicide will cost your life. Of course, so does the garden variety, non-ritual suicide. Suicide can be expensive in the sense that once you are dead, you no longer own anything. But then, perhaps you already don't own anything, we don't know. I see little reason to think that suicide is better if it is performed in a ritualistic manner.
