In Canada, our voter rolls are tied to tax filing. If you are a citizen, your name is added to the voter rolls when you file your taxes. When you die, there is a Canada Pension Plan Death Benefit which is enough to pay for a modest funeral, and when you family applies, your name is stricken from the voter rolls.
So what happens if the family pays for the funeral of their loved one? You have the same problem we do just to a lesser extent.
