I don't know about burial expenses but I can give some direction on hospice care. I recommend contacting the Sisters Servants of Mary:

We go out to the abandoned,sick and dying, discovering the face of Christ in all we serve with the sole desire of alleviating the suffering of others for the love of God. Our mission is to care for the physical and spiritual needs of the sick, preferably in their own home environments, free of charge. This we believe is the
uniqueness of our mission and calling.

Here are a few locations in California, there are other convents in Kansas City, KS; Bronx, NY; and New Orleans, LA. http://www.sisterservantsofmary....g/ contacts.html
