Can you be more specific about which governments, as I think that the governments of most English speaking countries do handle funeral arrangements where necessary, and it's not limited to them but a fairly ancient practice.
I don't live in the UK, but the BBC is always a good source, compared to Wikipedia anyway:
"National assistance funerals, as they are known, are carried out by local authorities for people who die alone or with relatives who are not able to pay."
