If a person dies without funds for burial, many states have provisions for a "pauper's burial" or "indigent burial." The state or local government may cover the costs of a basic burial or cremation, typically in a designated cemetery. The specifics vary by location, including what services are provided and how the process is handled. Families may also be involved in making arrangements within the guidelines set by local authorities.
