Who pays for funeral if no life insurance?

If there are no funds in the estate to afford the cost of a funeral, and the family refuses to pay for it, there won’t be one. There is no legal obligation to host a funeral service.

How do you bury someone with no money?

If you simply can’t come up with the money to pay for cremation or burial costs, you can sign a release form with your county coroner’s office that says you can’t afford to bury the family member. If you sign the release, the county and state will pitch in to either bury or cremate the body.

What happens to a body if there is no money for a funeral?

People who can’t afford those services are left with the cheapest option: cremating their loved one’s remains and leaving it to a funeral home to dispose of them. Others may simply abandon relatives’ remains altogether, leaving it to coroners and funeral homes to pay for cremation and disposal.

Is Cremation a sin?

A: In the Bible, cremation is not labeled a sinful practice. Some biblical references of burning a person with fire seem to suggest the type of life they lived – the enemies of God and God’s laws were promptly cremated as a form of capital punishment.

Does God approve of cremation?

The Bible neither favors nor forbids the process of cremation. Nevertheless, many Christians believe that their bodies would be ineligible for resurrection if they are cremated. Moreover, as God is known to be all-powerful, it should not be impossible for Him to resurrect someone even after cremation.
