Connecticut General Statutes Title 54. Criminal Procedure § 54-102. Burial or disposal of body of executed criminal

The warden or his deputy shall cause the body of any executed criminal to be decently and quietly buried in any place in the United States that may be designated by the relatives or friends of the executed person, provided a request for such burial has been made to the warden or deputy on or before the day of execution. The amount of the expenses of the funeral and burial to be paid by the state shall not exceed one hundred and fifty dollars, which shall be paid out of any funds on hand appropriated for the maintenance and support of the Connecticut Correctional Institution, Somers. If the expenses of the funeral and burial at the place designated by such relatives or friends exceed one hundred and fifty dollars, such relatives or friends shall pay to the warden the amount required in excess of said sum before the warden causes the body of such criminal to be removed and buried at the place designated. If the body is not claimed by any relatives or friends on or before the day of execution, the warden or deputy shall dispose of it as provided by law for the unclaimed bodies of criminals who die in the Connecticut Correctional Institution, Somers. The warden shall endorse upon the death warrant a record of his execution thereof and shall return such warrant to the clerk of the superior court for the judicial district where the trial and conviction was had.
