If there are insufficient funds within the deceased's estate, then the local council/Hospital will do a basic cremation ceremony billed to the tax payer.

If it goes to a public health funeral they are dignified services conducted in the same way as most funerals arranged by families. The council will have a contract with a local funeral director. Usually there is a notice out in the local paper in case anyone wishes to attend or send flowers. The service will be an early morning slot with a celebrant, music, FD, bearers etc.
