Though the question is not insurance related, i would suggest you to seek the state funds or lodge a petition to a local non-profit organization to get some financial help to cremate your dead friend. It is sad to know that her family would not give her a funeral, if she had a life insurance, it might have covered it.

Your friend is already at peace. If no one claims the remains, the state will pay to bury or cremate them. It's not your concern.

Max, it may not be the OPs reponsibility, but is certainly her concern. If it wasn't, she wouldn't be posting.

Fine. Give her some advice or address her concern in a different manner.

Max, it's a waste of my time to answer questions if someone isn't going to be around to respond to them.
Have you never had a friend die?

What a crock! You waste the same amount of time posting this cop-out nonsense. Who cares if no one comes back looking for an answer? There are others looking for information.
In this case, there is nothing else to say. The OP has no legal standing to claim the body for cremation.
Have you never had a friend die?
Of course I have had friends die. My father died 30 years ago. And my father-in-law died four years ago. What does that have to do with anything?
The OP wants the decedent to "be at peace". As a Christian, I know that a deceased Christian is "at peace" at the instant moment of death. Makes no difference if the body is cremated, buried, or missing.

I asked about having a friend die because your lack of compassion wasn't very Christian like. I was wondering if it was because you didn't understand the impact of having a friend die.

lack of compassion
What can be more compassionate than the truth? Lots of folks -- Christians and non-Christians alike -- fail to understand this concept as taught by Jesus, and reiterated in the letters of Paul. While the truth may be difficult to accept, appearing cold and seemingly callous, it will, nevertheless, set you free . . . free of emotional distress, in the case of the OP.
How much more distressing would it be to tell someone to continue to try to do something they have no chance of accomplishing?
