It's sad that I looked this up but Toronto pays for the funeral expenses of homeless people with no family. Not sure how it would be for where she lives
I'm from Halifax and tried looking it up as well I couldn't find anything.
I just know the cost to go into a funeral or land plot or even cremation is more than most people could afford at the moment, they said a high percentage live pay check to pay check. One would assume the people living paycheck to pay check don't have the cost to cover and it would get passed to any immediate family they are survived by.
like you said be interesting to see what it is place to place
