How do you save money when buying a funeral?
Keeping the costs to a minimum and having a cremation rather than a burial.
What happens at a paupers funeral?
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 your sister dies and she has no husband or children who is responsible for paying for her funeral?
Whoever arranges the funeral is responsible for paying. In this situation, it's better to not have a funeral. When something like that happens, most families would claim to not have the money, then the county would pay for a cremation.
Can family members be forced to pay cremation cost when the will is not settled?
That depends on the circumstances. Who called the funeral home to remove the body? Who made the funeral arrangements? Who signed the contract? If someone went to a funeral home and made arrangements for a funeral then they have usually signed a contract making them responsible for payment. Whoever made the arrangements should pay and try to get other family members to share the cost. If there was no money to pay for a funeral then arrangements for a funeral shouldn't have been made. In many jurisdictions the city or the county pays for the burial of indigent decedents.
Where do homeless shelters get their money from?
Usually the City where the death occurs pays for a homeless persons funeral and burial if the person has no relatives or family found to claim the body. The City gets the money from taxes of the public in the city.
Does Medicare or Medicaid help with funeral expenses?
NO. I say again, NO! SS only pays less than $300 at death. You need Final Expense insurance for pennies on the dollar to pay for the funeral, tombstone, grave site, graveside service, medical bills, probate, estate taxes, etc, etc. If you don't, you leave that financial Burden with your family. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ My original answer that Medicaid covers funeral expenses still stands. This is a state by state thing. Some states do and some don't. Indiana Medicaid does pay for SOME funeral expenses; body burial and cremation. The Indiana Medicaid coverage for a body burial is insufficient to cover those costs. Indiana recently raised their maximum for cremation. One cremation company based in Indianapolis will accept the Medicaid money and include an urn without any costs to the family. For information on funeral expenses you may want to take a look at the web site Funerals and Ripoffs. You will be surprised when you read the documented facts about the funeral industry and the site will show you how to save money in planning the funeral. funerals-ripoffs.org
How can you pay for a funeral without life insurance?
Funerals don't have to be so pricey. There are a number of potential costs involved in a funeral and to a great extent, the more options you choose, the more expensive the funeral will be. Even your individual preference of burial or cremation for the remains will influence your costs. By having direct cremation and no service at the funeral home, you can save thousands of dollars and can have a memorial service elsewhere. If you want a more traditional funeral, you can buy a casket from somewhere other than the funeral home; many funeral services' Web sites and other vendors offer overnight delivery, directly to a funeral home, of a variety of caskets at one-third to one-half the cost you'll pay at the funeral home. Donating the body to a medical school, mortuary school or anatomical firm can also save you money. In exchange, most will cremate the remains of the body after use and return the ashes to you.

If i die with no money how will i be buried?
Depends which country the deceased was living in and died. Normally,in countries like the UK and the US,the local authority social services have an obligation to help out with funeral costs to the deceased next of kin-normally these are means tested-and if the relatives or indeed the deceased was on welfare benefits,or low income,the FULL COST for a basic funeral is met. In the event the deceased had no next of kin-then the authorities usually arrange the funeral with charge given to a local funeral director and perhaps one social worker from the local authority to undertake usually a cremation. Speak to your local council body or social services department. [Syed Amir]
