It never occurred to me that a government would pay a funeral home, but now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense for a government to collectively pay for the disposal of human remains, since everyone needs it, and it can't be abused.

Not everyone is eligible, but if the family has no money to pay for it the government pays for basic services. If the family has funds available they have to pay but I believe they get reimbursed for some amount.
