It's hard to say, anyone really.

The three most likely people to pay for your funeral are:

1. Your family/children (12%)

2. Your girlfriend/boyfriend (7%)

3. Your best friend (1.6%)

Normally, the cost will lay with the state, but I do not believe that is true in all states. Just because the inmate is in state custody serving their debt to society does not transfer his interment expenses to the taxpayer, ONLY his day-to-day maintenance such as lodging, food, medical care, etc. The family still retains control of the deceased's remains and, unless financially incapable of handling the situation, can do with the remains what they see fit and in the manner that they may wish.

The next of kin/executors of the estate. A prison or the prison service is not responsible for this, unless in some countries it is a result of capital punishment. Where there is no estate or nearest relative then the state will normally pay.
