The state will dispose of the body via cremation or burial at the county cemetery. They do it for all the "John and Jane Doe's" that go unclaimed.

Unfortunatly, the top answers are correct. I am not totally sure but the body many even be used for medical research if nobody claims it.I am not sure about that.
My grand-mother was buried in a potters field in the 1930s during the depression, my mom was only 13 years old so she couldn't bury her mom.There is now a highway on the land that used to be potters field.Sort of a sad way to go.

The remains are put in a plain pine box and buried in public ground with little ceremony and a very spare marker.
Cremation is fairly cheap.

They get buried in what is called a "potters field, where they bury bodies in caskets and stack them on top of each other.
