The parish governing authorities may, when called upon by the proper authorities to do so, pay the actual burial expenses, not to exceed the cost of the service, of all paupers carried on the parochial list of paupers and whose deaths have been caused by natural causes.  The state or any municipality or parish may establish a maximum amount which it shall pay for individual burial expenses.
