Usually, a person's heirs are liable for debts including burial costs. Some bodies are donated to medical schools to avoid these costs. If no university will accept the body because of its condition, you can minimize expenses by eliminating all ceremonies and cremating the body. Some localities have provisions for burial of paupers check with the medical examiners or coroners office or the sheriff's department.

Find out if he was really in the army with an honorable discharge he should get a pension and insurance from them for health and other benefits. Plus if he owns nothing the state buries people who own nothing its called paupers graves in some states. Check your local county clerks for more information.

that's funny

I'm not sure, I think u can go to a hospital that donesnt need LI. Did you know that at first life insurance was called death insurance, and no one bought it! Jackmac :P~

His Social Security will pay a couple hundred in death benefits. Donate his body to science. No charge to the family. :-)

The county will bury him.It is a small plain casket but it will work. Or you can have him cremated ,much cheaper.

I know this sounds strange, but check with your county/city/state about a pauper's funeral. It DOES exist- I don't know what is involved but you may have to use this option (unless you can get everyone to agree to a cremation-which is cheaper). Oh! There is one other option you may not have heard about- he would have to sign papers for it- He can donate his body to science. A medical school can use the body to study cancer as well as give medical students a chance to practice suturing, etc.

I don't think there are any grants for this type of thing. Cremation is the least expensive...something to think about anyway. If he has no real property he can be buried as an "indigent" meaning the state will pay for it. Talk to a funeral home for alternatives.

I do not understand that uncle was in the Army. If is vet has no bad conduct discharge, the government will pay for his funeral. Call the VA or look it up on line. You need find out more his time in the Army and call the VA for help.
