Yes, imminent domain. You don’t own land you only lease it from the government.

What word your looking for is a shibboleth, which of course is itself a shibboleth.
In most cases, local governments use direct cremation to dispose of unclaimed bodies and the cremains are stored for a set period of time. After being stored the cremains may be scattered. The Cremation Society of North America has estimated that there are currently 2 million unclaimed cremated remains in the U.S.
Some counties elect to bury unclaimed bodies. Typically, the body is buried in an unmarked grave that is county-owned. If a family member later comes forward the body may be exhumed upon request.
Other states allow for unclaimed bodies to be donated for medical science. There are also state laws that allow for the unclaimed bodies of veterans to be buried by third party groups.

This is for unclaimed bodies, if your body is claimed by your family then the cost is taken out of your estate or your family have to pay for it.
You wish it was free, not on your life bud.
This question is less interesting when in context of how we normally think about loved ones, being that they are around for most of your life.
When you immortal that’s no longer the case, you’ll eventually have a relationship with loved ones similar to a person who has had countless pets over the course of their life. The love a person holds for their pet is real, but it isn’t exactly the same as “the love of your life”.
Forever is a long time yo.
The real interesting question is after a century or two, when you start treating your lovers like an old man on his tenth dog.
Having made many models that were only slightly better than a coin toss, that’s really not bad. Especially since that’s not even their primary design goal.
I’ve left better things over lesser issues.
I’m going to go on a different angle on this one and say that we are much tougher on sexual harassment. I feel like a lot of people from the 1950s who have grown up on pulp sci-fi like Flash Gordon could accept a lot of modern technology and the internet as basically just magic. To be fair is how a lot of modern people also accept it. But I don’t think they would be able to process the move towards egalitarianism that we have taken.
That is not to say that modern society is egalitarian only that we have made good strides in achieving that aim.
Edit: Turns out Gordon is from the '70s, but other pulp sci-fi exist so my statement stands.
If a cop can take your property with no consequences and you will be arrested or killed if you defend yourself and your property, then what the law says doesn’t matter as the defacto state of reality isn’t concerned with such petty things as laws.
