Well, insurance money is rarely in the person's hand when it's time to bury you anyway.From the time you die until the insurance money is paid is longer than the few days that it takes for a funeral and burial! But essentially the same person who would bury you if you did have insurance is the same who would if you didn't. The difference is how they go about paying for it.

And if no one survived you or wanted to make your arrangements than some of the other answers is probably what would happen.

If you have no insurance, I believe the Social Security Adminsitration gives your family something like $255 (a minor pittance to dispose of you improperly.) I mean come on what do you expect for $255? Here's the jargon from a web-site
The Q&A:
Does Social Security make a death benefit payment when I die?
Yes. Social Security pays a $255 lump-sum death benefit if you worked either (a.) 40 total quarters, (b.) at least one quarter for each year after your 21st birthday [excluding the year of your death] or (c) at least 6 quarters in the 13 quarters preceding your death. The benefit is payable to your spouse, or if there is no eligible spouse, to a child.

My advice - get married or make a baby. Owwweee, my tongue is in my cheek and it hurts like heck.

Here's the truth. Technically speaking, "the State" is correct, but this is how it would happen. If you had no assets and no next of kin your body would be creamated by the county who's jurisdiction you died in, after it was released by the local coroner. The remains would be stored until sufficient "John Doe's" were collected, then they would be burried in a mass grave in the local county maintained/contracted cemetary.

The State.
