Social and religious rules mean that a funeral and disposal of a dead body is mandatory. Historically, not everybody could afford a funeral, so there was the most basic where the body would be placed in a sack and then given a religious ceremony. The coffin would be opened, body in sack removed, and re-used. The body would be dumped, and buried with other unfortunates later on.
a paupers funeral is a simple funeral paid for by the local government or council if you lack the funds to pay for one
In my area, those who have no money are taken care of without ceremony. It is either a direct cremation or immediate burial. Both are done simply in the presence of a funeral director and scheduled at the funeral homes convenience.
If you are a relative and would be entitled to them if you could have afforded to pay for the funeral, then yes you would be able to keep them. Ask whoever is going to pay for the funeral and make them aware before the cremation that you wish to keep the ashes, otherwise they might be scattered.
