Who pays for the funeral of a person who dies with no life insurance?
The next of kin pays for the funeral or any family they have surviving. You get what you pay for, pay for a lavish funeral you get a laverish funeral. Pay for the basics you get the basics. If there is n one around to pay for a private funeral you will get a state funeral. In some places you are buried in a plain wooden box in a state cermotary with a single wooden cross. No flowers, no headstone etc. other places people are cremated.
