I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;d be a particularly popular decision to use tax dollars to pay for a murderer to have a funeral celebration and burial. Maybe that&#x27;s callous but I&#x27;d guess that&#x27;s the way it is in the US.<p>As far as I know it&#x27;s up to relatives or loved ones to bury their deceased and its up to them to arrange a funeral, plot of land, headstone, etc which runs in the thousands of dollars. If there is no one willing or able to pay then I&#x27;d assume the state essentially disposes of the body by cremation.
